About this listen

In this episode, J. Paul Nadeau—former hostage negotiator, international peacekeeper, and author—reads the powerful opening of his new book The Hostage Effect. Part political alarm and part self-help guide, this book exposes how fear, misinformation, and creeping authoritarianism are quietly eroding freedom across North America and beyond. Drawing on real-life negotiations and high-stakes experiences, Paul shows how the same psychological tactics used on hostages are now being deployed on entire societies—and how you can resist them.

This episode offers a gripping preview of a book designed to wake you up, arm you with practical tools, and help you stay sane, strong, and free in a world that often feels out of control.
