About this listen

This Is Not Real Life is a memoir about the total, unfiltered chaos behind the scenes of my time in media.

From an evangelical upbringing and a steady diet of Fox News to going viral and playing my first part in media disinformation, to meeting with terrorists, neo-Nazis, intelligence agents, and political crime rings. There's coke binges, MDMA diplomacy with enemies, a nuclear-grade marriage meltdown, and a trail of scandals across five continents. I was arrested in Turkey and Morocco, got banned from the UK, and maybe(?) violated international sanctions. Finally, a psychotic break, addiction, and the dark art of conspiracy.

I wrote this book to claw my way back to reality. I hope it helps you to do the same.

Brutally honest

I compliment Lauren for being brutally honest with herself in this book. Self reflection and the ability to admit that we are wrong is essential if we ever are to become better versions of ourselves.

The struggles of living in a society where digital propaganda is directed at us from all angles is very real. Lauren, more than most, had to deal with this from a very young age, and the way that she has been able to separate herself from the noise in order to discover what’s truly important is commendable.

If you are struggling with digital noise, the propaganda, the uncertainty of what is actually real, then I think this book is definitely worth a read.

I also really enjoyed the narration, the excellent writing and the general flow of this book.

Highly recommended.
Mike
