Publisher's Synopsis
This book deals with highly relevant issues in an assortment of fields vital to our lives-politics, the corporate world, education, the entertainment industry, social media, science, and religion-from the perspective that just about everything in our society runs on bullshit, and that today common sense is a vanishing commodity. From the legions of corrupt politicians, greedy corporations, and morally-bankrupt celebrities of today to the dangers of social media, our unquestioning worship of science, and the fallacies of certain religious notions, we are drowning in bullshit. Written from the vantage point of a baby boomer who's come across an abundance of bullshitters in his life, the book's viewpoints are likely to resonate with a wide cross section of the American public as well as find some resistance to several of its more controversial pronouncements. With a mix of humor and serious reflection, the author gives voice to the millions of Americans who experience profound disappointment with the major institutions that affect or lives and also directs the spotlight at some of the minor annoyances of daily life in the USA.
