So begins the book, “Ignorance Is Contagious! True Stories and Life Lessons of Foolishness, Stupidity and Buffoonery.”

Ignorance is Contagious is the brainchild of brothers Abdul Majid, successful screen and TV writer, and video producer, and James LeGrand, finance V.P., life coach and best-selling author.

Prompted by a lackluster reaction during a routine speaking engagement, Abdul and James endeavor to reach an audience who are more accustomed to sound bytes than lectures, and two minute videos than two hour movies that don’t include a car chase or gunfire.

… The stories are both relatable, and hysterical, with dead on advice that make you go hmmmm.  - Karim Orange, Eco activist/ Huffington Post Blogger

… His writing style is natural with flow and above all, his wit is wise.  -Emily Cohen, Television Producer

…Fresh, innovative, enlightening, and (what I love most) comical… Ignorance Is Contagious offers alternative solutions for those situations when keeping it real goes wrong.  -Pretty Ricki Fontaine, Comedian

Although Abdul and James are brothers, two peas in a pod they are not.

Abdul has a brash, sarcastic sense of humor, often provoking those who read his internet posts with “politically-incorrect” statements just to see who ends up on which side of the fence and can best sustain their arguments.  He writes the stories.

James is the soft-spoken older brother, and known to encourage and enlighten his readers as he does with his first book, Amazon.com best seller, “Evolve,” and a series of inspirational Youtube videos.  He writes the lessons.

What these two intelligent men share is a real camaraderie and the desire to create something that has a meaningful impact on a new generation.  Their book, Ignorance is Contagious, seems to be the perfect blend of both their strengths and points of view.

Ignorance is Contagious is rude, funny, outrageous and thought-provoking.   Pick it up from Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble today and let us know what you think.
