"Reality and Shit" shows how the most urgent problems of our time interconnect on a cultural level, and offers unique solutions and insights from a not so "cultured" perspective. It wraps serious issues and epidemic illnesses like diabetes, asthma, cancer, obesity, anorexia, war, terrorism - into a framework of "how to shit like a master," which makes it enormously easy to read while leading to the psychological roots of those fundamental problems we never really face.

This book can be read as a cultural critique, as a traveler's book, as a shamanic medicine book and as a very earthly guide to spiritual enlightenment. It is both sincere and hilarious!
