Stereotype Killers: The Pornstar Who Never Had Sex, The Emperor Who Refused the Throne, The Billionaire in Basketball Shorts, The Redneck Tech Genius (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781087855455)

Stereotypes Are Made to Be Broken

What do a pornstar who never had sex on camera, a billionaire in basketball shorts, a dictator who dismantled his own regime, and a Southern linebacker with a PhD in psychology all have in common?

They shattered expectations.

Stereotype Killers brings together the astonishing stories of nearly fifty people who defied every label the world tried to pin on them. From Bill Murray, who despised fame, to Barry Goldwater, the cowboy conservative who fought for civil rights and personal freedom; from Bob Ross, the Air Force drill sergeant who chose to whisper to the world, to Pandora Peaks, the model who refused the script of her industry-this book is a collection of lives that prove nothing is as simple as it seems.

Through history, entertainment, politics, sports, art, and philosophy, Dr. Robbie King explores the real human beings behind the caricatures. Some are household names. Others you've never heard of. But every one of them will change the way you think about stereotypes forever.

This is not just a book of stories. It's a reminder: you can't assume anything about anyone.
