In this sharp, funny and empowering guide, journalist Chris Kohler takes you through the rigged carnival of modern life, where the games are broken, the prizes are fake and somehow you're paying $28 to park near the entrance.

From loyalty schemes to late fees, gift cards to sneaky supermarkets, How They Get You pulls back the curtain on how the systems work and how to outsmart them. Written for anyone who has ever looked at their bank account and thought, I swear I didn't buy anything, this is the ultimate handbook to understanding how the game is played - and how you don't have to lose every single time.

You'll laugh, you'll groan and you'll probably cancel a few subscriptions. But most of all, you'll walk away with the clarity and confidence to make better choices about how to spend and save your hard-earned money. Personal Finance Funny Witty Thought-Provoking Money Cryptocurrency

I love it when a good writer writes a good book, but I love it even more when that writer is also a weapon of a narrator and narrates their own work. Chris is super knowledgeable, articulate and is also hilariously funny. I don't often leave book reviews, but I found this one really good. thanks Chris for your time and effort and energy invested 😊

Who ever thought listening to a book about how the tactics of big business are scamming you could be as interesting or as entertaining as this?

Chris Kohler is funny, genuine and down to earth. I loved how much research he put into this book and just how much I got out of it. I am now annoying my friends and colleagues with “see…. that’s how they get you!”

Honest, down to earth and entertaining

the book discusses a lot of complex and relevant financial issues in the most fun and non condensing way.
its great for people who have never thought about how they get you" and its still fun to listen to even if you have.
I love the voice of Chris, clear and having personality.

Informative and Fun

I really enjoy the way Chris Kohler sees the world - and he seems to have worked out the secret to making import ideas that aren’t well understood by so many of us really fun and easy to digest. Love the YouTube shorts, and loved this book. Well done!
