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.

the author narrates his own work passionately and with very good animation in his voice. I guess he wants to make it palatable and enjoyable but I felt it was quite chatty in parts and I would have liked more facts and examples. I felt I was listening to the Joe Rogan show at times. There were several meaty parts but I would have liked more . He explains the scientific method well but departs from it now and then. A mixed bag for me.

good but not great

A very easy and timely book for anyone perplexed by the current gender politics maelstrom. A long with the reality of the threat posed to free speech and thought. Very sobering but, inspirational as, well.

So many references to matters most of us haven't realised before made this Listening experience worthwhile and entertaining in very many parts too.

Wrong Narrator

The book was spot on with faulty thinking, however I found the book self-indulgent at times when reminiscing of his past interactions. Satire may be funny but it doesn’t solve anything, and that’s what this book lacks.

Accurate

For decades, set of idea pathogens has relentlessly assaulted science, reason, logic, freedom of thought, freedom of speech, individual librety and dignity. We have to be assured about our principals and stand ready to defend them at all cost. If you feel like you witnessed an erosion of common sense, read/listen to this book - it is the explanation why we are where we are, who is at fault and what is the cure.

This book can be used as a proper manual to counteract the countless delusions and no-senses increasingly arising from the Radical Left. The elegant sentences and the concepts built by the author represent an actual weapon that could and should be used when confronted with the lunacy of some individuals that infest our everyday life. Really well done and thank you, I am looking forward for more!

A necessary, fun and refreshing writing!
