From coffee enemas to religious cults to Barrack Obama and Donald Trump, this book is total bullshit! A book every young person should read. It fosters freethinking, healthy skepticism, and it reminds us that we shouldn't easily accept everything we hear as truth. A Brief History of Bullshit in America is a funny and easy to read book that examines the bullshit obsessed "post-truth era" of today and how we got here. It is filled with information, misinformation, disinformation, and any other sort of bullshit you can think of. If you consider yourself to be connoisseur of good bullshit, then you will love this book! Bullshit can be so many things. It could be anything from a degree in Gender Studies to something simple as a three-word campaign slogan, or even something as complicated as our nation’s 6,550-page tax code. Political speeches, self-help books, marketing, press conferences, tax code, song lyrics, conspiracy theories, many college majors, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the multi-billion-dollar diet industry, medicine, and even the Constitution of the United States itself are all some form of bullshit in one way or another. Bullshit is everywhere all around us. It influences the clothes we wear, shapes our political views, and even determines what food we eat. This book will examine some of the greatest bullshitters of all time and celebrate their accomplishments. Bullshitters are beautiful highly intelligent individuals, and they play a vital role in our world. They start almost all of our wars, make our drugs, sell us our cars, raise and lower our taxes, regulate our economy, they tell us what to wear, and in many instances what to believe. This book will also give you some basic bullshit strategies that you can use in your own life as well.
