Life Advice is Bullshit Book Cover

About is BullShit

is BullShit is about myth — identifying, defining, and debunking myths. We use storytelling and metaphors to explain the current situation, define the myths, and recommend a way forward. Metaphors help individuals make sense of the unknown through analogy, relating the new to what you already know.

is BullShit is a dialectic endeavor to seek and tell the truth through brutal honesty and radical transparency. Similar to the "For Dummies" series, each book discusses a specific topic and provides information — but we're focused on debunking, refuting, and dispelling myths through stories and empirical data.

The is BullShit book series demystifies why social norms, standard ways of doing things, and conventional life advice is wrong in many cases. In today's world of social media, impulsiveness, pleasure seeking, and instant gratification, logic isn't what matters most — passion and emotion are. You have to appeal to people's emotions, feelings, and beliefs.

is BullShit is dedicated to paying it forward. 23% of all profits are donated to the Ma Pesch Foundation, which provides continuing education scholarships to high school seniors seeking STEM degrees.

Our Tenets & Principles

Radical Honesty

The content will be brutally honest and unhinged in its delivery. The message will be poignant, and therefore, difficult to hear at times.

Storytelling

The method of delivery will be storytelling from actual mistakes and failures — real experiences, not theory.

Keep It Real

Content developed and delivered by practitioners, not thought leaders or delegators. Pedigree does not mean mastery.

Demystify

Common behaviors, thoughts, and beliefs will be debunked and refuted with evidence and reason.

Solutions

Specific prescriptive guidance, practical remedies and recommendations will be integral to the content.

Community

An enduring community will be established where members are both contributors and consumers of content.

Empirical

Data and industry research bolster the evidence, but the majority consists of anecdotal, empirical data points.

Metaphors

Individuals learn and retain knowledge best when they can relate what they're learning to what they already know.

Provocative

The content will be provoking in both thought and action — designed to make consumers uncomfortable.

Nonconformist

A contrarian point of view that embraces a maverick, rebel spirit. Conformity breeds complacency.

Visual

Individuals learn and retain information through visuals and by doing — experimentation over passive consumption.

Humor & Satire

Levity captures attention and keeps individuals engaged. "A lot of truth is said in jest."
