Welcome to the golden age of bullshit, a wiki-wild world knee deep in half-truths and alternative facts, spin and bias, influence and insincerity, little white lies and tall tales, falsehoods and propaganda, and all sorts of other baloney designed to disguise fact from fiction. We live in a post-truth, fake news, world where nothing is quite as it seems and everything you read should be seen before believed. But isn't.

From Brexit buses to Donald Trump, the University of Google to misleading advertising claims, and everything in between, the bullshit keeps getting bigger and stronger, and the lies are turning truer every day. It's time to call bullshit on bullshit!

The Little Book of Bullshit is the ideal antidote everybody needs to fight the influx of excessive lying and cheating and defrauding that has come to define the 21st century, a tiny tome stuffed with delightfully witty snack-sized nuggets of facts and stats and quotes and boasts all related to the ever-expanding world of bullshit.

The first rule of bullshit is that it must be believable.

I'm almost finished...

All of us, at some point in our lives, have been duped by a clever salesman, a persuasive politician, or a well-crafted marketing campaign. We've fallen for the hype, the promises, and the lies, and we've ended up with something that wasn't what we were promised. But why do we fall for it? Why are we so easily swayed by the bullshit?

The answer is simple: we're human. We're vulnerable to manipulation, we're easily swayed by emotion, and we're often too lazy to do our own research. We want to believe that the easy way out is the right way out, that the quick fix is the solution, and that the person who is telling us the truth is the one we should trust. But the truth is, the world is full of bullshit. And it's up to us to be able to recognize it and to call it out when we see it.

The Little Book of Bullshit is a guide to helping us do just that. It's packed with examples of bullshit in action, from political campaigns to advertising to social media. It's also packed with tips and tricks for how to recognize and avoid bullshit, and how to speak up when you see it.

So why not pick up a copy of The Little Book of Bullshit today? And start fighting back against the bullshit that is taking over our world. It's time to call bullshit on bullshit and to take back control of our lives.
