Less than a year ago, Oobah Butler was living in a garden shed in London, struggling to pay rent and living on a diet of boiled eggs. It's safe to say that he hadn't achieved much with his life. Yet just a year on, on the back of three documentaries that have been viewed over 150m times, he's won awards, been featured on TV all over the world and has been lauded by critics, commentators and serial achievers across the globe. How did everything turn for him? With an idea.

Since he came with the Shed at Dulwich, the world's most famous restaurant that never existed, Oobah's life has been completely transformed. Fantastic, of course, but it made no sense. How could something he'd invested such little care and emphasis in be so impactful? Could this be the key? So he asked himself the question: How would my life work out if I approached it with as little consideration and as much enjoyment as my fake restaurant? Can one achieve more in life if they cease to be so emotionally involved in their goals? In the modern age, has detachment become an unlikely bedfellow of success? This new book by Oobah Butler is based on a philosophy built around this very stupid thing he did.

About the Author

Oobah Butler is an award-winning filmmaker and writer. Over the past two years, his work has gone from quietly admired on VICE Magazine to being renowned globally, recently being interviewed in the New Yorker, profiled by Scott Simon on NPR and endorsed by individuals such as Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry, WIRED Editor Nicholas Thompson and scores of other world-renowned journalists. For the most part, his work uses comedy and absurdity to comment on the modern era. After releasing his recent stunning film and article in which he made the shed he lives in TripAdvisor's top-rated restaurant in London, Oobah dominated headlines globally in the climate of 'fake news', being interviewed on TV all over the world. Whether it's swindling his way as a fake jeans designer, Georgio Peviani, to the top of Paris Fashion Week or letting his Instagram followers vote on every decision he made for a day, his ambition is to explore different worlds in an interesting, contemporary way.

This book is so sincere in its fakery yet so fake in its core

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

Only in the world of fake this and fake that, where most businesses and marketers spend most of their times trying to find some shortcuts and true masters of their crafts are afraid of fake reviews, this book can be a bestseller. But event this book and author's late book tours speaks "I'm great, I've found something you losers couldn't find! Find some tool to screw the world the way I did and then you can be great!"
Sorry, not my cup of tea. Although a decent part of the book talks about some (but not all) techniques to achieve this success, most of the book talks about how you have to "fake it till you make it" and how "clever" you are then. Nope dude, although you have some decent money now, you are still a fraud to me. A genuine example why all tools should not be available to all people, although that's not the core of democracy. Democracy that brought us Trump, Brexit and wars in my surroundings.

Something clicked in my head

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 31, 2019

Verified Purchase

It's a short book, but it's so direct that I felt something click in my head reading it. I've always been a rule follower, goody 2 shoes but hearing his approach to "faking it until you make it" was honest, and kind of like hearing your friend tell you this crazy story. It's insane but believable enough and you'll be like "that's all you had to do?". I think sometimes we get caught up in what you can/can't do based on what someone else says, and you just gotta test it out and see if you can go through with a crazy idea. It was life changing in a subtle way, like the kind where you finish reading and you look around and everything just looks different than it did before you started reading it.

Very entertaining and has interesting points

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

When I ordered this book, I was mostly expecting 76 blank pages, and was thoroughly surprised when there was actually content. I really also didn't know what to expect when reading this book, as I had honestly just ordered it for some sort of novelty, but as I started reading I found myself laughing and becoming more and more intrigued. Oobah does a good job reminiscing all his escapades and pulling some sort lesson out of it, which you can add to your BS toolkit. Overall, this book isn't filled with BS, which seems to be the most ironic part about it.

No BS -- the Story is True

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

Oobah's shack in London became the number one rated restaurant, courtesy of social media. It was never a restaurant. As I read the book and the business lessons learned, it was scary to me how social media can create overnight sensations in politics, business, religion, or entertainment without any factual basis. Long ago, the Internet was described as a flea market--you never know what you get. That axiom couldn't be truer than today. Thanks for telling a great story, Oobah.

Kind of like “Zen and the Art if Motorcycle Maintenance” - meets - “Jack*ss”

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

I thought this book was going to be a parody on self-help books, but was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was a sincere, smart and still funny mix of memoir, humor and philosophy on what success really means in this day and age. Kind of like “Zen and the Art if Motorcycle Maintenance” - meets - “Jack*ss”. Would heartily recommend this to anyone.

This book is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I’m up reading it at 2am when I have to be up in 5 hours because it’s that entertaining...

Bought this for my snarky son. If Oobah keeps writing and developing, he could follow up A.A. Gill.

A must-read book! Just wish it were longer!

This book is a must-read book. It's informational, well-written, and witty.

Oobah shares some gems in this that go beyond his videos. I only wish it were longer, guess I'll have to read it again.

In a time when Trump can become president, Boris be a contender for Number Ten and a comedian become president of the Ukraine, bullsh*t undoubtedly rules the world. Mr Butler is the Dale Carnegie of Bullsh*t.

The book is great! The seller not quite so much. Opened my package to find my book stuffed with pamphlets and ads. If I wanted to buy that I would use eBay.
