In the space of five years, Jeetendr Sehdev has shaken up the world of entertainment by revealing how social media stars generate more obsession than the Hollywood A-list. What can he teach us about making our own ideas, products and services break through?

Jeetendr shows why successful images today – the most famous being Kim Kardashian – are not photoshopped to perfection, but flawed, vulnerable, and in-your-face. This total transparency generates a level of authenticity that traditional marketing tactics just can’t touch.

From YouTube sensations like Pew Die Pie to taxi-hailing app Uber, The Kim Kardashian Principle reveals the people, products and brands that do it best. After all, in a world where a big booty can break the internet, self-obsession is a must-have. No posturing, no apologies, and no shying away from the spotlight.

The Kim Kardashian Principle
by Jeetendr Sehdev is a fresh, provocative and eye-opening guide to understanding why only the boldest and baddest ideas will survive – and how to make sure yours is one of them.

Jeetendr creates a power manifesto for anyone who wants to lead the why-not-me generation. One-upping Malcolm Gladwell, he uses his marketing genius, historical perspective and pop-culture prowess to help us navigate a world where Pew Die Pie is more name-checked than Brad Pitt. And his own story of how he rose from buttoned-up British schoolboy to Hollywood's new phenom is simply inspiring. Edifying and captivating stuff!
