Publisher's Synopsis
We all love a good quote. Everyone: motivational speakers, business leaders, politicians, even presidents - often rely on quotes to deliver their punchlines. Most of us are guilty of liking, sharing, and posting tons of cliché quotes on social media. Yet, we also get annoyed when others spam us with cheesy quotes. But, why do we love and hate quotes? What do they mean to us? How can we tell real ones from fake ones? Does it matter? Are there hidden dangers in our overreliance on them? In this little, funny book; the author takes on popular quotes and simply subjects them to common sense 'sense-checking' and testing to see if they stack up. He does not rely on sophisticated research or robust scientific methods to support his arguments. Instead, he relies on opinionated, funny ramblings and diatribes to make his point. The genius of the author is in how he inconspicuously slips in some seriously useful advice on how to deal with life challenges and on how to live a more balanced and thoughtful life.
