About this listen

Ever opened Being and Time and wondered if your brain had a stroke?

Ever wanted to understand Heidegger, but all you got was a migraine and a vague sense of personal failure?

This is the audiobook for you.


Being Really Confused is the hilariously brutal, no-holds-barred, sarcasm-soaked guide to Martin Heidegger’s philosophical fever dream. Whether you’re a burned-out philosophy major, a curious masochist, or someone who just wants to sound terrifyingly deep at brunch, this book unpacks the most infamously unreadable thinker of the 20th century—with jokes, rants, and zero patience for pretension.

Inside, you'll find:

  • What “Dasein” actually means (spoiler: it’s just you, but anxious)
  • How to ruin conversations with phrases like “Being-toward-death”
  • Why “the they” is probably responsible for your haircut
  • And how to survive Being and Time without filing a lawsuit against your own brain

Equal parts roast and revelation, this book doesn’t just explain Heidegger—it drags him, hugs him, then drags him again.

Listen if: You want to laugh at existential dread

  • You love philosophy but hate suffering
  • You’ve been pretending to understand Heidegger and want to finally maybe mean it

Warning: May cause spontaneous existential crises, unbearable smugness, and the urge to buy a black turtleneck.
