The Fine Art of Bullshit Extraction

Thirty lies, thirty short chapters, in three parts: the lies other people tell you, the lies built into work and money and modern life, and the lies you tell yourself. Each chapter names one lie (“We’re a family here.” “I was just joking.” “I’m fine.” “I’m waiting for the right time.”), says where it comes from, and shows what it does to seven parts of a life: love, sex, work, parenting, self-respect, money and relationships. Then it gives the signs that you are living it, a few examples, the steps for getting out, and one last line. It is blunt and it swears. It is not therapy and does not claim to be. About 21,600 words. The Author’s Note and Chapter One are free to read.
