Well, This Is Bullshit.
The world has always been a little ridiculous. We've just gotten considerably better at broadcasting it.
Everyone's an expert. Everything is breaking news. Your phone demands your attention, strangers demand your opinions, and even relaxing has somehow become another thing you're supposed to optimize.
It's enough to make a reasonable person say, "Well, this is bullshit."
And that's exactly where this little book begins.
Well, This Is Bullshit. is a short, humorous, and surprisingly practical guide to navigating modern life without losing your judgment, your patience, or your sense of humor.
Across 15 chapters, John Lex Robinson takes a look at the everyday absurdities we've come to accept as normal, including manufactured outrage, unsolicited expertise, technological dependence, and our remarkable ability to turn absolutely everything into a problem.
Along the way, you'll find practical observations, useful perspective, and the occasional uncomfortable realization that you might be contributing to the nonsense yourself.
What you won't find:
- Complicated self-improvement systems.
- Promises to transform your life overnight.
- Instructions to wake up at 4:30 a.m. and drink something unpleasant.
- Someone pretending to have all the answers.
Just a little common sense, some practical advice, and a healthy dose of sarcasm.
Will it solve all your problems? Absolutely not.
But it might help you recognize which ones aren't worth having in the first place.
And for five bucks, that's not a bad deal.
Especially considering how much bullshit is available for free.
