About this book

"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 " -New York Times

"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!" -Kirkus Review

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.
Good Deal?

If it endorsed by the New York Times then it is a bullshit book about bullshit.

"Publisher: Dr. Richard Littlecock"

Yeah... Dr. Dick Littlecock's publishing... sounds completely legit.

Im sure with all the books they publish there's no way you finish it satisfied but least we know it will be short and painless.

I see that this deal touched on some sensitivities :😜 the author, credentials, quotes come into question but not the content? Get outta here! "..this country's most profitable business is still the manufacture, packaging, distribution, and marketing of bullshit" - George Carlin

Quote from EHokie :
There is virtually no information about this author out there, except his other two, also strangely-titled books.

I would just assume he isn't a doctor of anything.

Brandon Day identifies as a doctor, and he considers himself an expert on most things. However, he is best known for being late for work, spending too much time in the bathroom, drinking too much, road rage, and embarrassing his children in front of their friends. He frequently gives lectures on topics he knows very little about to friends and family at various bars, hunting and fishing camps, and social gatherings throughout areas of Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey.

Dr. Brandon never won any awards for his writing. However, he did win many participation awards as a child and countless drinking games in college. In his free time, he enjoys looking for the remote, mansplaining stuff to his wife, and complaining about gas prices.
