Über diesen Titel
This is a self-help book like no other. Because you are not helping yourself, James Acaster is helping you.
When James quit all forms of social media in 2019, he felt like he'd been born anew, but he was worried he'd suffer withdrawal and get lured back online to compete in a never-ending popularity contest with only one possible winner (f--king Zuckerberg). He knew that in order to stay clean, he'd have to replace everything social media used to give him with three-dimensional real-life activities.
And so it was that James found ways to anonymously bully strangers, see photos of everyone's dogs, get invited to as many parties as possible, immediately know about all celebrity deaths, get public figures fired, argue with everybody about everything and so much more without even owning a phone (he painted over the screen of his old one to stop himself looking at Instagram).
His life is amazing and yours could be too if you buy James Acaster's Guide to Quitting Social Media, Being the Best You You Can Be and Saving Yourself from Loneliness Vol. 1.
You will also need to do everything the book tells you to. Including helping us promote the book by tweeting about it.

Helpful but Author should check his privileges
Overall I found the advice in the book quite helpful and tried to follow it as best I could. Unfortunately some tips are more easily adhered to when one lives in a castle with a mote. Healthy electric eels are also not always readily available depending on the season and such. As an additional fair warning I‘d add that this book is mostly concerned with life after having quit social media and the advice on the act of quitting itself (the old tar method) is going to require some willpower on behalf of the reader. Nonetheless it has improved my (and my exes) life tremendously!

Not what it claims to be.
Being familiar with Acaster's work and having bought (and enjoyed) his previous two books, I assumed it was going to be funny, but I also assumed it was actually a comical guide to quitting social media. It isn't. It's just a lot of ludicrous fiction. For example, his advice for quitting SM is to paint your phone with tar and drive some distance to lock it in storage.
When I realised I'd been duped, I rolled my eyes and decided to just try and enjoy it as a piece of comedy, but that didn't work either. It's funny in places, but not enough to warrant a book.
If you want a self-help book with a comedic twist, try Jimmy Carr's 'Before and laughter'. It's not about quitting SM, but it is a good book and I felt better for having read it.

a load of random bollocks
James inimitable style, rambling, funny in patches but overall just several hours of rambling nonsense. If that's your thing you'll enjoy it.
