The titles of the popular "For Dummies" series of job and career self-help books, are not designed to insult your intelligence, but rather to indicate that they are friendlier for those of us who aren't natural-born experts in the topics. Each "dummy book" includes sound, straightforward advice in plain English "for the rest of us." The style is often witty, to make learning more enjoyable and even entertaining.
