About this listen
“Read this book, strengthen your resolve, and help us all return to reason.” —JORDAN PETERSON
There’s a war against truth … and if we don’t win it, intellectual freedom will be a casualty.
The West’s commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism have become endangered by a series of viral forces in our society today. Renowned host of the popular YouTube show The Saad Truth, Dr. Gad Saad exposes how an epidemic of idea pathogens are spreading like a virus and killing common sense in the West.
Serving as a powerful follow-up to Jordan Peterson’s book 12 Rules for Life, Dr. Saad unpacks what is really happening in progressive safe zones, why we need to be paying more attention to these trends, and what we must do to stop the spread of dangerous thinking. A professor at Concordia University who has witnessed this troubling epidemic first-hand, Dr. Saad dissects a multitude of these concerning forces (corrupt thought patterns, belief systems, attitudes, etc.) that have given rise to a stifling political correctness in our society and how these have created serious consequences that must be remedied—before it’s too late.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet we are listless, divided, and miserable. Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, but our political landscape is unmoored, and rates of suicide, loneliness, and chronic illness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these truths? And how should we respond? For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our troubles is clear: The accelerating rate of change in the modern world has outstripped the capacity of our brains and bodies to adapt.

A book for the times
I needed something to convince me I wasn't crazy. I have been staring into this world for awhile wondering how we got to this point where it seems like the most insane people are the ones pulling the strings and getting the power. Dr. Saad puts it all together in a way I can understand. It's a powerful, telling book that is bound to get the ire from the usual pundits and rank order SJW's.

Finally someone with backbone
Society tolerates and even praises immoral, illogical, and downright lunatic beliefs and practices. This book offers an inoculation of courage and reason.

Great stuff
Narrator was good. Content was important. Reminder to have thick skin and step back and truly analyze difficult subjects. The issue with self censorship is real.

Challenging, argumentative
Dr. Saad doesn't disappoint, if you are looking for impassioned polemics against the foolish and irrational events and people of our day. He doesn't hold back the vitriol, so you should be in the right frame of mind. Sharing his personal origins anchors his point of view, and I can respect it. Sharing his numerous Twitter exchanges with idiots is tedious and would only be funny if you happen to BE the kind of person who relishes Twitter flamewars.
I do appreciate Dr. Saad's call for everyone to seek reason and courage when expressing their values. It will help when I challenge the critical thinking of people I know. But I won't be so abrasive!

Génial
Accessible, irrévérencieux, incisif, mais efficace et surtout très drôle. Un remède parfait face au climat social hystérique actuel.

Def worth a listen
I don't know where all this (il)liberalism takes us but it helps to know that others share my concerns, if only to feel I'm not alone in bewilderment.
If Gad were to narrate I would buy it again just to hear his biting inflections

Well written and researched
Gad does an outstanding job highlighting the issues with today’s PC culture. His satire adds an enjoyable humour to the troubling ideologies that are infecting today’s western world.
