"In a laugh-out-loud, incisive cultural critique, West extolls the world-changing magic of truth, urging readers to reckon with dark lies in the heart of the American mythos, and unpacking the complicated, and sometimes tragic, politics of not being a white man in the twenty-first century.

"Trump triggered massive cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias on both the left and the right. We?re hardwired to respond to emotion, not reason. We might listen to 10 percent of a speech?a hand gesture here, a phrase there?and if the right buttons are pushed, we irrationally agree with the speaker and invent reasons to justify that decision after the fact."--Amazon.com.

Every day, Americans are bombarded with terrifying news about crime, the environment, politics, and the health consequences of the foods we've been enjoying for years. We're judged by social media users, pressured into maintaining a perfect home, and expected to base our self-worth on retweets, faves, likes, and followers. Our collective FOMO (fear of missing out), and the disparity between ideals and reality, is leading us to spend more and feel...
