Pushing For Change from the Bottom Up!

Poop is a big deal. All people and all beings do it on any good day. It's basically at the center of everything. Know Your Shit lifts the lid off the potty taboo and breaks the stall doors down in search of the Perfect Poo. Along the way, learn what happens inside your body to make poo, how the process can go wrong, and simple fixes to make sure you stay in the Goldiplops Zone. Now, let us hold these poos to be self-evident; not all are created equal. But it is important to understand them in terms of personal health and global well-being. Because how are we supposed to fix all the super-complex problems in our world if we don't know shit about shit?

About the Author

Shawn Shafner (he/they) is an artist, educator, and facilitator. As founder of The People’s Own Organic Power (POOP) Project, Shawn catalyzes conversations about sustainable sanitation for every pooper—and the planet we poop on. From the floor of the United Nations to the mountains of Rwanda, he has spread poop positivity since 2010 on four continents, at colleges across the country, toured four critically-acclaimed shows, released three years of podcast episodes, produced one feature-length documentary, and had countless conversations about the doo we all do doo. When he’s not pooping, Shawn teaches meditation and mindful creativity, leads movement classes through the lineage of choreographer Tamar Rogoff, sings with Marisa Michelson’s Constellation Chor Ensemble, tells stories to young children and their families, and facilitates arts-integrated workshops for learners of all ages. Shawn is the humble recipient of some fancy fellowships, grants, and awards. His work is featured in three books (now four!), and he’s performed at Madison Square Garden, with the New York Philharmonic at Lincoln Center, and many more—but he doesn’t like to brag. He just wants to spread love, have fun, and make meaningful connections. So let’s get started already!

Time Out New York raves: “Shafner wants a global movement and, given his natural charm and bottomless capacity for scatological puns, he might just get one.”

Brilliant blend of relevant information, humor, and sincerity about an important topic to all
Brilliant! Each chapter will have you laughing, learning, and considering aspects of your daily duty that have likely never crossed your mind. It’s a short and meaningful journey about a topic that we all are acquainted with but Shafner highlights its relevance to our health and the health of the environment. I really appreciate the conversational tone of the book, which made it easy to follow and personal. I also loved the illustrations. They are cleaver and capture the blend of humor and represent a diversity of people. I am grateful for this book and plan to get it for folks as a gift.

Never have I thought so much about the stuff I'm not supposed to think about. Everyone poops but not everyone knows what it means. Not everyone has the same access to clean places to poop. Not everyone poops the same. Now I can laugh when I go by reading Shawn Shafner's clever and thought provoking book. It will forever be next to my commode.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick, fun intro to a very important subject
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2022
This is a witty, clear, shame free trip through the digestive system and the gut, the organ system that affects everything else as much as the nervous system does, but which doesn't get a much attention in our culture because of learned shame and disgust! It's a quick, fun read, very practical and specific.

I thought I knew all I needed to know about poop until I picked up this read. Shawn does an amazing job taking us on the journey to the toilet and teaching us to embrace the relationship between poop and self-love as we learn to let it go. A great read for poopers everywhere!
