Self-help books can be good for the soul, but they come at the cost of driving skills … as you can see in the insane video.

One driver was engrossed in the audio version (thank goodness) of “The Four Agreements” when he lost control of his car and sped into a driveway … slammed into a car and then hit the driver who was running for his life .

The distracted driver had turned up the volume when he apparently reached for his phone, which had fallen on the hall. The man he hit looked like a rag doll when he went into the air. His daughter was watching the whole thing and was remarkably unimpressed.

The distracted driver has apparently taken the book on tape to heart … while the author reads: “You are impeccable, you take responsibility for your actions,” the driver checks the driver to see if he is okay, and he wasn’t. The victim says he has what appears to be a torn muscle / ligament around the ankle area.

It’s getting worse … the driver allegedly had his license suspended … which is strange because he was driving an Avis rental car.

Unsurprisingly, the victim says he will become a lawyer.

Books … who knew?
