Trust Me, I'm Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator by Ryan Holiday
3.0
Try to take everything you read about online media with a grain of salt--especially if it's coming from a self-famed "media manipulator" like Ryan Holiday.
It was an interesting read, but I quickly tired of his approach to repeating concepts for the sake of his word count. The day I finished the book, Ryan posted a link on his Twitter to a piece he wrote about how to write (and flesh out) a 5-paragraph essay to get you through whatever assignment had been handed to you. After reading this book, it's clear he's quite adept at the concepts covered in his article - and nowhere near as "sorry" for his manipulations as he claims.
