What if the strangest species on ... is us?

For twenty-five years, Maggie Pouplis was convinced there had been some kind of administrative error.

The aliens forgot her. Atlantis sank. Someone filed the wrong paperwork.

Something.

Because humans kept doing things that made no sense. Not the big things.

Wars, greed and power make perfect sense.

The small things. The things everyone else seemed happy to accept without question. Asking "How are you?" while hoping the answer is "Fine." Discussing someone else's life more enthusiastically than investigating your own.

So she started watching.

What the Actual F*ck Are Humans Doing? is the result.

A witty, thought-provoking collection of 100 Human Observations exploring human behaviour, psychology, neuroscience, communication and the wonderfully irrational habits that quietly shape our everyday lives.

This isn't a self-help book. It won't fix you.

It isn't a psychology textbook, although psychology occasionally wanders in because humans keep giving psychologists things to do.

It's an invitation to become a better observer. To laugh. To question. To notice.

If you've ever left a family dinner wondering how four people experienced the same afternoon completely differently...

Or caught yourself thinking, "Surely this can't be normal."

Congratulations.

You've been recruited.
