What books are you referring too can you recommend a good one to start with?

I have repeatedly found all kinds of armchair critics especially the
professionals. They are most skeptic and also most stupid (another word for
arrogant) in anything they don't understand. Like they say "over confidence
kills". Its funny how many opinions people have on things they have not
idea about! Wish they would put the brains in gear before their mouths.
