This felt like a single long university lecture. First, the author discussed the linguistic differential of bullshit and its commonly used synonyms. Then it gravitated towards the psychological aspect of bullshitting and how it differs from the psychology and philosophy of lying. The book wasn't something that I expected it to be, sometimes the repeating concept seemed to be a little annoying but overall I got a good idea of detecting the general basic level of bullshit, which is one of the most prevalent problems of our society today.
