Consider this a manual to help you “ get a bit of common sense and some behavior as you navigate today’s hyperobsessions with pop culture, social-media sharing, and outright navel-gazing.”
The tone sets off with a tinge of pettiness and humour but as you delve deeper you stumble upon more serious conversation. The book is divided into four broad sections : life, culture, social media and fame. She is clear that she has done some of the things for which she is asking us to do better. You’d expect that as Luvvie drags us she is seated high up on her white horse sipping on a well brewed chai but far from it. The book explores her personal commentary on race, religion, feminism, sex tapes, obnoxious use of social media and rape culture among others. It is a reminder to do better in a world that has normalised a lot of things that we ought to be ashamed of. “ I’m judging you the do better manual” is a necessary book. She is the side eye sorceress and so expect to be enchanted into doing better. You know that auntie everyone loves to hate because she says out loud the things people only want to gossip about? (yes). She says all the things you want to say but are not brave enough to. Luvvie Ajayi is your favorite auntie wrapped in humour. If you haven’t then at least you’ve seen it in a movie. You have all attended those family meetings with aunties silently side eyeing you for your petty. “Some people will say, “Only God can judge me.” I’m here to say, “Well, until He gives His final judgment, here’s some of mine.”
With a lighthearted, rapier wit and a unique perspective it’s the handbook the world needs now, doling out the hard truths and a road map for bringing some “act right” to our popular culture, social media, and our lives.TITLE : I’m Judging you the do better manual I’m Judging You dissects our cultural obsessions and calls out bad behavior in our increasingly digital, connected lives. The go-to source for bracingly smart takes on pop culture at her enormously popular blog, she has also become a bulwark of good humor and crucial common sense at what can seem a common sense-free time. In this hilarious book of essays, comedian, activist, and hugely popular culture blogger Luvvie Ajayi inspires us to good behavior, one sharp and funny side-eye at a time. Hilariously wry social commentary, delivered as a guide to modern manners in hardcover for the first time, with festive packaging and tour de force bonus essay about the “walking Cheeto” as U.S. “17 New Best New Books to Read This Fall” Redbook “20 Books By Women You Must Read this Fall”
