About this listen

 This is a self help book like no other. Because you are not helping yourself, James Acaster is helping you.

When James quit all forms of social media in 2019 he felt like he'd been born anew, but he was worried he'd suffer withdrawal and get lured back online to compete in a never ending popularity contest with only one possible winner (f*cking Zuckerberg). He knew that in order to stay clean he'd have to replace everything social media used to give him with three-dimensional, real-life activities.

And so it was that James found ways to anonymously bully strangers, see photos of everyone's dogs, get invited to as many parties as possible, immediately know about all celebrity deaths, get public figures fired, argue with everybody about everything, and so much more without even owning a phone (he painted over the screen of his old one to stop himself looking at Instagram).

His life is amazing and yours could be too if you buy JAMES ACASTER'S GUIDE TO QUITTING SOCIAL MEDIA, BEING THE BEST YOU YOU CAN BE AND SAVING YOURSELF FROM LONELINESS VOL. 1.

I could listen to James Acaster for hours. Actually, I just did. A lot of fun.

This was probably one of the funniest books I've ever listened to. I don't know what he's drinking, but some of the scenarios and details within those, are just hilarious. He's an excellent story-teller and it really is a book you can't stop listening to. I frequently found myself in a position where I needed to do something, but was so reluctant because I wanted to keep listening. I can't recommend it more highly, in fact, I started recommending it to people and I was only an hour in, it is that good.

Brilliant

Such a good book. Just gunna head off and insult all my family and ruin our friendships after this review and start my digital detox, offline journey. Thanks James.

May this be the last online activity I ever partake in. Booked my ticket to Rhyl for tomorrow - see you all there.

Phenomenal

Lots to laugh at, well edited and relatable stories. Glad it was less self help and more James jokes with some biography stuff too.

Great book
