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? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.

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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Little Book of Bullshit is a guide to helping us do just that.
