Yeonmi Park
About this listen
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
The North Korean defector, human rights advocate, and bestselling author of In Order to Live sounds the alarm on the culture wars, identity politics, and authoritarian tendencies tearing America apart.
After defecting from North Korea, Yeonmi Park found liberty and freedom in America. But she also found a chilling crackdown on self-expression and thought that reminded her of the brutal regime she risked her life to escape. When she spoke out about the mass political indoctrination she saw around her in the United States, Park faced censorship and even death threats.
In While Time Remains, Park highlights the dangerous hypocrisies, mob tactics, and authoritarian tendencies that speak in the name of wokeness and social justice. No one is spared in her eye-opening account, including the elites who claim to care for the poor and working classes but turn their backs on anyone who dares to think independently.
Park arrived in America eight years ago with no preconceptions, no political aims, and no partisan agenda. With urgency and unique insight, the bestselling author and human rights activist reminds us of the fragility of freedom, and what we must do to preserve it.

In In Order to Live, Yeonmi Park shines a light not just into the darkest corners of life in North Korea, describing the deprivation and deception she endured and which millions of North Korean people continue to endure to this day, but also onto her own most painful and difficult memories. She tells with bravery and dignity for the first time the story of how she and her mother were betrayed and sold into sexual slavery in China and forced to suffer terrible psychological and physical hardship before they finally made their way to Seoul, South Korea - and to freedom.

The left is waging an all-out battle on the American family, particularly the youngest members. If they can make our children miserable, lead them to question every building block of society, and rebuild their entire concept of reality, then the left and their woke indoctrinators will consider that a victory. But we can't let them win. As concerned parents and American citizens, we have to understand what's truly going on before we can do something about it. Stolen Youth provides an urgent deep dive into issues surrounding the current woke indoctrination happening.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 3
It has been proclaimed many times, but perhaps never more convincingly than now, when every news cycle seems to deliver further confirmation of a world gone mad. Is this the endgame? Author Spencer Klavan is a classicist, with a Ph.D. from Oxford, and a deep understanding of the West. His analysis: The situation is dire. But every crisis we face today, we have faced before. And we can surmount each one. Klavan brings to the West’s defense the insights of Plato, Aristotle, the Bible, and the Founding Fathers to show that in the wisdom of the past lies hope for the future.

Story5 out of 5 stars 26
The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed.

Alistair Urquhart was a soldier in the Gordon Highlanders captured by the Japanese in Singapore. He not only survived working on the notorious Bridge on the River Kwai , but he was subsequently taken on one of the Japanese ‘hellships’ which was torpedoed. Nearly everyone else on board died and Urquhart spent 5 days alone on a raft in the South China Sea before being rescued by a whaling ship.

Extremely important information.
The contents of this book is extremely important for young people in western civilization to learn of.
There is a growing interest in Socialism/Communism in the youth and woke culture that is predicated on nothing more than ideology and historical ignorance. It has never worked, and never will.
Please, listen to this book and share it. The fate of our civilization may depend on it.

Half-Baked
I really wanted to like this book because I was very moved by her story and the way she told it in her previous book. Unfortunately, I just don't think she was able to escape the critical thinking deficit of her youth. She frequently insists on boiling down complex issues into binaries, a hallmark of propaganda and not of intellectual pursuit. Ironically, while lambasting the cult of victimhood of leftists, she demonstrates a victimization narrative; while criticizing the suffering machine of leftist ideology, she creates her own suffering by overstating and oversimplifying complex ideas into their propagandist media forms. There are some nuggets of wisdom in here, but it feels like it has a long way to go.

Her bravery
It was really hard to listen to the audio, as the chosen speaker kept breathing/sighing heavy and it was so irritating. What a great author and story. The first audiobook reader was fantastic, wish she stuck with her for this one too

A Must Read
Yeonmi Park is a true fighter and survivor, the book well-written and carrying a message we should pay attention to. The only thing I can criticise is the performance. The narrator's voice was very breathy and sounded condescending, but I got used to it after a while. I still loved this experience.

awesome and emotional
this book gave me so many emotions. I played it while at work and had to take breaks now and than. some chapters made me cry, others proud to be a woman. this woman endured a lot and instead of sitting around feeling bad for herself. made change and continues to do so. that's what real life is all about. I've watched some of her videos on YouTube and recently on one of my fav podcasts as well ( Andrew Schultz)

The author reveals to us that the same ideology that made North Korea possible is now festering in America. I Highly recommend this book!

Fantastic book, a must read for all
This book was eye-opening about the sort of depravity currently permitted and perpetuated in North Korea and China. It also details the dangers of undermining the classical liberal values that brought us - the “West” - prosperity.
