Bookseller recommendation
“This non-fiction book takes us inside the author's podcast, by the same title, in which he has conversations with people that have left him hateful comments online. He is emotionally generous and kind while still holding people to account for the impact of their words. He's unwilling to take the easy road of writing other humans as monsters, recognizing the importance of seeing one another's humanity. He is also extremely candid about his own process, the difficult decisions along the way, his own mistakes, his privilege, and what it's like to be a content creator amidst call-out culture. I want to be Dylan Marron when I grow up. ”

Bookseller recommendation
“Thought provoking, self-reflective and full of hope in these times of intense division, I really liked this one! Not only did Dylan pursue meaningful conversations with people who left him hateful, hurtful messages, he also turned the lens on himself--I truly appreciated his humility and honesty. This one will make you think again about the internet and its place in our lives - and how we can choose to use social media to make meaningful connections or tear people down.”
— Jessica • Main Street Books Davidson
“Dylan Marron is the internet’s Love Warrior. His work is fresh, deeply honest, wildly creative, and right on time.” —Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Dylan Marron is like a modern Mister Rogers for the digital age.” —Jason Sudeikis
From the host of the award-winning, critically acclaimed podcast Conversations with People Who Hate Me comes a thought-provoking, witty, and inspirational exploration of difficult conversations and how to navigate them.
Dylan Marron’s work has racked up millions of views and worldwide support. From his acclaimed Every Single Word video series highlighting the lack of diversity in Hollywood to his web series Sitting in Bathrooms with Trans People, Marron has explored some of today’s biggest social issues.
Yet, according to some strangers on the internet, Marron is a “moron,” a “beta male,” and a “talentless hack.” Rather than running from this online vitriol, Marron began a social experiment in which he invited his detractors to chat with him on the phone—and those conversations revealed surprising and fascinating insights.
Now, Marron retraces his journey through a project that connects adversarial strangers in a time of unprecedented division. After years of production and dozens of phone calls, he shares what he’s learned about having difficult conversations and how having them can help close the ever-growing distance between us.
Charmingly candid and refreshingly hopeful, Conversations with People Who Hate Me will serve as both a guide to anyone partaking in difficult conversations and a permission slip for those who dare to believe that connection is possible.
