Story4.5 out of 5 stars 60
For over a decade, philosopher and energy expert Alex Epstein has predicted that any negative impacts of fossil fuel use on our climate will be outweighed by the unique benefits of fossil fuels to human flourishing—including their unrivaled ability to provide low-cost, reliable energy to billions of people around the world, especially the world’s poorest people. And contrary to what we hear from media “experts” about today’s “renewable revolution” and “climate emergency”, reality has proven Epstein right.

Totalitarianism is not a coincidence and does not form in a vacuum. It arises from a collective psychosis that has followed a predictable script throughout history. In The Psychology of Totalitarianism, world-renowned Professor of Clinical Psychology Mattias Desmet deconstructs the societal conditions that allow this collective psychosis to take hold. By looking at our current situation and identifying the phenomenon of “mass formation”—a type of collective hypnosis—he clearly illustrates how close we are to surrendering to totalitarian regimes.

Michael Shellenberger has been fighting for a greener planet for decades. He helped save the world’s last unprotected redwoods. He co-created the predecessor to today’s Green New Deal. And he led a successful effort by climate scientists and activists to keep nuclear plants operating, preventing a spike of emissions. But in 2019, as some claimed "billions of people are going to die", contributing to rising anxiety, including among adolescents, Shellenberger decided that he needed to speak out to separate science from fiction.

Story5 out of 5 stars 136
Ordinary Men is the true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, which was responsible for mass shootings as well as round-ups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942. Browning argues that most of the men of RPB 101 were not fanatical Nazis but, rather, ordinary middle-aged, working-class men who committed these atrocities out of a mixture of motives, including the group dynamics of conformity, deference to authority, role adaptation, and the altering of moral norms to justify their actions.

In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the dangers of ‘woke’ culture and the rise of identity politics. In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of ‘wokeness’, the impact of tech and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive.

For all of the West's failings—terrible food, cold weather and questionable politicians with funny hair to name a few—it has its upsides. Konstantin would know. Growing up in the Soviet Union, he experienced first-hand the horrors of a socialist paradise gone wrong, having lived in extreme poverty with little access to even the most basic of necessities. It wasn't until he moved to the UK that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society, receiving countless opportunities he would never have had otherwise.

Publisher's Summary
The New York Times bestseller.
From host of The Rubin Report, the most-watched talk show about free speech and big ideas on YouTube right now, a road map for free thinking in an increasingly censored world.
The left is no longer liberal.
Once on the side of free speech and tolerance, progressives now ban speakers from college campuses, 'cancel' people who aren't up to date on the latest genders and force religious people to violate their conscience. They have abandoned the battle of ideas and have begun fighting a battle of feelings. This uncomfortable truth has turned moderates and true liberals into the politically homeless class.
Dave Rubin launched his political talk show The Rubin Report in 2015 as a meeting ground for free thinkers who realise that partisan politics is a dead end. He hosts people he both agrees and disagrees with - including those who have been dismissed, deplatformed and despised - taking on the most controversial issues of our day. As a result, he's become a voice of reason in a time of madness.
Now, Rubin gives you the tools you need to think for yourself in an age when tribal outrage is the only available alternative. Based on his own story as well as his experiences from the front lines of the free speech wars, this audiobook will empower you to make up your own mind about what you believe on any issue and teach you the fine art of:
- Checking your facts, not your privilege: when it comes to today's most pervasive myths, from the wage gap to hate crimes.
- Standing up to the mob: against today's absurd PC culture, when differences of opinion can bring relationships, professional or personal, to a sudden end.
- Defending classically liberal principles: such as individual rights and limited government, because freedom is impossible without them.
The progressive woke machine is waging war against the last free thinkers in the world. Don't Burn This Book is the definitive account of our current political upheaval and your guide to surviving it.

great book political impartiality and objectivity
I really enjoyed this book. Being a conservative Christian I couldn't but be enlightened about the tools provided and encouragement that Dave gives about making up your own mind; not only about politics, but your life in general. It's a scary book because it means not only do you need to make up your own mind about issues; but that you now need to take risks and share them. More often than not, those risks are probably the ones you've been avoiding for days, months, years; or for that matter your life. I had a convicting moment while reading this book. Bottom line for me about this book is; thanks Dave but now I gotta do this stuff, cheers mate *stone face wry smile*.
btw Dave's narration is full of wise cracks ... Conservative, Democrat or Green... do it ... download it because Dave makes this a hoot to listen to.

It is a good book, perhaps a bit too middlclassy
First impression is that it is very cohesive and compelling storytelling, although stopping and thinking about the elements of this story reveals few weak spots, perhaps deserving a full essay on the troubles with a middle class worldview.

Dave tells us in simple language, how to be our best self. Do and say what you know is right. Live how you want, not how you should. Formulate your own life guide and live among people who will respect you for who you are and what you believe. Be the best version of you. Thank you Dave, I thoroughly enjoyed this book
