Get Honest or Die Lying

Why Small Talk Sucks

By: Charlamagne Tha God

Narrated by: Charlamagne Tha God, Elliot Connie, Landon Woodson

From Charlamagne Tha God, host of the morning radio phenomenon The Breakfast Club, and founder and CEO of iHeartRadio’s Black Effect Podcast Network, a rundown on how small talk from small minds have taken over our world, and the BIG conversations needed to climb our way back.

For over a decade, Charlamagne Tha God has cohosted iHeartRadio’s nationally syndicated morning radio show The Breakfast Club and has proven his power as a culture mover and thought leader, by being his completely authentic self on-air. From his famous “You ain't black” moment with President Biden, to heartfelt chats with cultural icons like Sean “Jay-Z” Carter and Judy Blume, to viral classics with Kamala Harris and Soulja Boy, his incredible reach and impact on American culture continues to grow.

In Get Honest or Die Lying: Why Small Talk Sucks, Charlamagne takes full command of his new perch, broadening his scope and embracing his life roles as a cultural curator, social commentator, job-creator, mental health advocate, and Girl Dad in ways we’ve never seen before. In his signature irreverent style, he looks at the world through his own lens, concluding that many of our divisions, our unhappiness, and our dissatisfactions stem from our failure to have meaningful conversations with each other. With lessons pulled from his past, and an eye on the future, Get Honest or Die Lying: Why Small Talk Sucks makes us laugh, cry, and think as Charlamagne shares his thoughts on growth, empowerment, and evolution in our fast-changing world. In short—it’s time to stop lying to each other, and ourselves.

Fame, money, social media, politics, hip-hop culture, and fatherhood, he takes it all on here. This master of seeing through the BS even calls it on himself, as he delivers his most insightful and heartfelt work yet—his call to stop the insanity while we still can.

Real. Raw. Charlamagne does it again! Excellent!

I appreciate the truth Charlamagne gives in his book. Excellent listen. Helps puts things into perspective.

Personally but relatable

Excellent read. All of Charlamagne books are great. Well written and easy to follow and understand.

When You Know Better Do Better!

I really enjoyed listening! The title was so on point. There were a lot of life lessons and information we could all use. I definitely recommend it!!

pretty good listen. hard to stop but ill listen again...

im going to listen again. literally deleted my IG after listening to this so I can hone my craft and dedicate productive hours to perfecting my craft. I'm about to hit start again and listen again.

Enjoyable & thought enticing

Thought provoking, vulnerable and loved the references to hip hop. Made me think about how I approach conversations. Understand the need to be direct, however depending on who you’re speaking with some people need a warm up / small talk before you get to the point. Know your audience and pivot accordingly.

The authors self reflection, his unadulterated truth and genuine words.

Charlemagne!!! This is the one! I enjoyed this book thoroughly. I have all of your books and this one is by far the best.
Allow me to get straight to the point. I appreciate you and your growth. As a 60+ female, I saw much of myself within your writing. Continue to inspire and entertain us with your straight facts. I have no time for small talk as well. Lets get straight to the point. Continued success.

Authenticity Matters

Awesome storytelling by our good Uncle Charla! I appreciate the extreme authenticity he increasingly delivers with each book he writes and Get Honest or Die Lying definitely delivered. It is refreshing to receive this from one of the most popular media personalities of America.

The honesty

I liked the real world application, will improve my daily interactions, learned something new about myself. Going to find me a tree.

Excellent Breakdown!

A very simplified concept and that was executed properly. Very good read/listen. 3 for 3 when it comes to books!

Charla has really matured!!

This book was very insightful. I’ll be honest, I hated the name of the book and it almost made me not wanna read it because how much can you actually say about small talk? Lol. It was really good though. Managed to listen in one day. My favorite chapters were 6 and 10.
