Surviving the Douchebag Apocalypse

Book excerpt: If you've ever tried to be a decent person; tried to understand, be sympathetic or helpful, but the more you did, the more it seemed you were getting sucked into a wormhole of worsening bullshit, twisted truths and half lies and couldn't understand why people would be that way, or what to do about it...then here's your playbook. "With laser-guided precision and the brilliant light of truth, Carboni pierces the bullseye." "This tight, efficient volume reassures readers that we are not alone in the world of the self-absorbed and shallow--those who suck the energy from a room and drive others to prescription medications." "Carboni galvanizes the rawness of Hunter S. Thompson, the wry wit of Bill Bryson, the strategy of Niccolo Machiavelli and the insight of Ayn Rand in this comedic, vernacular tirade." "The language is barstool authentic, but the message is anything but pedestrian."
