Histoire
The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive alteration as a society and an eventual end.

Histoire
It is now in vogue to celebrate non-Western cultures and disparage Western ones. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning, but much of it fatally undermines the very things that created the greatest, most humane civilization in the world. In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows how many well-meaning people have been fooled by hypocritical and inconsistent anti-West rhetoric.

The culture of “safety” and its intolerance of opposing viewpoints has left many young people anxious and unprepared for adult life.

Histoire
Leading a cultural revolution driven by identity politics and so-called 'social justice', the new puritanism movement is best understood as a religion - one that makes grand claims to moral purity and tolerates no dissent. In The New Puritans, Andrew Doyle powerfully examines the underlying belief-systems of this ideology and how it has risen so rapidly to dominate all major political, cultural and corporate institutions. He reasons that, to move forward, we need to understand where these New Puritans came from and what they hope to achieve.

Histoire
Critical race theory is one of the hottest and most controversial topics in the world today, but what is it, really? Rightly understood, critical race theory is a reinvention of an older, terrible idea, Marxism, using race "as the central construct for understanding inequality" in place of economic class. That is, critical race theory is race Marxism. The evidence of this claim is so overwhelming upon even casual examination that it is a shock that it isn't immediately plain to everyone who encounters it.

Education is in bad shape in America and beyond today. It’s obvious. Everyone perceives it. Something is going badly wrong in our schools. Our children aren’t learning as they should be. Their mastery of core academic curriculum like reading, writing, history, mathematics, science, and civics has declined to crisis levels and shows no signs of improvement. Meanwhile, they’re all learning to be activists, turning their backs on their nations, societies, and even their parents and religions.

In Noah Rothman’s view, the left used to be the party of the hippies and the free spirits. Now it’s home to woke scolds and humorless ideologues. From entertainment to food to comedy to family life, there’s no area of society the new leftists don’t want to control, he argues. These new joyless progressives only dislike witch hunts when they’re not the ones running them. Like their puritanical forebears, new leftists do not abide forms of pleasure that distract from the great work of our time—righting the wrongs of America’s white patriarchal heritage.

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.

Hardship is now equated with victimhood. Outward displays of vulnerability in defeat are celebrated over winning unabashedly. The pursuit of excellence and exceptionalism are at the heart of American identity, and the disappearance of these ideals in our country leaves a deep moral and cultural vacuum in its wake. But the solution isn’t to simply complain about it. It’s to revive a new cultural movement in America that puts excellence first again.

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.

The Diversity Delusion argues that the root of this problem is the belief in America’s endemic racism and sexism, a belief that has engendered a metastasizing diversity bureaucracy in society and academia. Diversity commissars denounce meritocratic standards as discriminatory, enforce hiring quotas, and teach students and adults alike to think of themselves as perpetual victims.

In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

There’s a new invisible force at work in our economic and cultural lives. It affects every advertisement we see and every product we buy, from our morning coffee to a new pair of shoes. “Stakeholder capitalism” makes rosy promises of a better, more diverse, environmentally friendly world, but in reality, this ideology, championed by America’s business and political leaders, robs us of our money, our voice, and our identity.

Description
Bloomsbury presents The Madness of Crowds by Douglas Murray, read by Douglas Murray.
The Sunday Times best seller
A Times and Sunday Times Book of the Year
Now updated with a new afterword by the author, The Madness of Crowds examines the rise of woke culture and identity politics as the great derangement of our times
Are we living through the great derangement of our times?
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.
One of the few writers who dares to counter the prevailing view and question the dramatic changes in our society - from gender reassignment for children to the impact of transgender rights on women - Murray’s penetrating book, now published with a new afterword taking account of the book's reception and responding to the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests, clears a path of sanity through the fog of our modern predicament.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Simply brilliant. Reading it to the end, I felt as though I’d just drawn my first full breath in years. At a moment of collective madness, there is nothing more refreshing - or, indeed, provocative - than sanity. (Sam Harris, author of five New York Times best sellers and host of the Making Sense podcast)
"Whether one agrees with him or not, Douglas Murray is one of the most important public intellectuals today." (Bernard-Henri Lévy)
"[Murray’s] latest book is beyond brilliant and should be read, must be read, by everyone." (Richard Dawkins)

Preaching to the choir and little else.
I got this book on the recommendation of Sam Harris because he implied that it was a study into groupthink and how modern Internet and outrage culture builds upon itself and can elevate previously fringe issue to the forefront. Instead, while a small portion of the book is devoted to this subject, the vast majority of it is just taking apart modern outrage culture, specifically on the issues of race and gender. It's more of an "anti-SJW" commentary, just presented in a more snobby tone.
I don't disagree with many of the points the author makes but this is just regurgitating the same points made by other commentators for years now, only with occasional credit given. If you have an interest in this book, you likely have heard and agree with most of these points already. If further affirmation is what you want, you'll get that here. If you wanted more of a dive into the theory of crowd-based hysteria, look elsewhere.

Astounding
A true generational warning about the state of politics and open social warfare within the western world. The author pulls examples from every day occurrences to demonstrate the unthinkable level of hypocrisy that tramples reason on a daily basis.
I do not think that this book is politically slanted either, as it's more neutral in essence. It reports on increasing illogical perception of race, gender and identity politics.
In short this might just be one of the readings required in schools around the world of the madness of a 2000's society and how we barely escaped a Geroge Orwellian nightmare just in time......I hope.

Social Critique Par Excellence
I struggle to think of a modern voice as clear and refined as Murray’s. Not only is the prose of the highest order, but Murray's reading of his own words makes one feel as if one is there in the room, speaking to him directly.
I would dare to say that the audiobook is probably the ultimate way to absorb this work. Many phrases are delivered with a certain acerbic bite that I can't imagine having quite the same impact without hearing Murray's delivery.
Murray is one of the rare intellectuals dipping into social commentary and critique who can, through his brilliant delivery and societal circumstance, get away with comments that, for many of us, could end our careers.
Do not miss this book. History will end up marking this book as a pivotal moment in the early 21st century culture wars.

Necessary but not sufficient
Great topic and compelling level-headedness. While Murray does a good job of identifying contradictions and pointing out the least valid views within the sphere of identity politics, there is too much reliance on anecdotal evidence, and not enough discussion of more rigorous research. It’s easy to go for the low-hanging fruit, but Murray missed an opportunity to frame issues in detailed scientific light.

So important, done with depth and flair
I figure Social Justice is the most important issue of our time (at least among those issues which everyday people have any chance of impacting). This is the best general treatment of the the phenomenon that I know of. (Heather Macdonald's The Diversity Delusion would be a good companion piece, as would Haidt & Lukianoff's The Coddling of the American Mind.)
Murray writes deep, risky, and well paced books. I'm so glad he chose this topic. These days (Spring-Summer 2020), the poison seems to be going mainstream. And his title's diagnosis seems ever more apt.

Complete lack on empathy from the author
I wonder if the author doesn't understand the struggle of others or it is just ignorance. Quick to point out issues with social justice movements and academia. Instead of truly empathizing with these movements he deconstruct them and highlight issues to the point of appearing petty. I seem like he suffers from generalizations and ignorance of very real struggles in society. Sad to place so much effort on his point and missing completely the point of the power struggle of minorities. I'm sad I supported this book with such a good reviews.

Those who like Western liberalism will like it ...
but the Rarefied Postmodernists will hate it, because it helps the rest of us "unwashed" to begin to understand what is happening around us within Western Society and the sheer silliness of pushing identify politics when so much has been achieved in equality and diversity and inclusion.
It is interesting that Douglas Murray sees the fall of many civilizations associated with a fascination with gender confusion ... and here we go again. While the average farmer in Africa is simply working to find enough for his family to eat, we have spoiled Western children of rich parents virtue signaling without having a clue of what it really means to actually struggle.
Crowds will do what individuals will not to other individuals. Douglas Murray has a wry sense of humor that makes this an interesting read, and a skeptical view of "social progress" in Western society. Hopefully, more of us will pay attention and start working to nurture what we have taken for granted for so long, our individual right to have an opinion without being jailed or killed for it.

Enjoyable listen
Murray’s main point is that, “Minimizing difference is not the same as pretending difference does not exist. To assume that sex, sexuality and skin colour mean nothing would be ridiculous. But to assume that they mean everything will be fatal.”
This listen is a fascinating perspective on oppression hierarchy, hysteria, and a reminder that all things “natural” are not automatically good or healthy (here’s looking at you, COVID19):

A refreshing voice of reason
As Murray points out, the social movements related to the five topics discussed in the book made invaluable advances towards fair treatment of all. However, in recent times they have gone a few steps too far and now we find ourselves dealing with a world in the grips of madness. I thoroughly enjoyed his treatment of the subject matter, and the beautifully dry English wit.

The mere fact that the contents of this books can't openly be discussed without a frenzy of castigation is a sad indictment of English speaking western society today... Hopefully this woke craze will not export well to other countries. A real bonus of this audiobook is that Murray is himself the narrator and the 12 hours just fly by...

This book destroys WOKE MADNESS. Read it today.
I laughed more listening to this book than I have during many comedy shows. Frankly, Murray shows the Intersectional, Woke, blah-blah, academic-term-here movement to BE the comedy show. Social Justice Warriors should be questioned - they won't have facts - and then laughed at. The only way to reverse the madness.

Rebutting on SJW craziness!
Douglas Murray does a great job of taking on and destroying the madness of social justice warriors in THE MADNESS OF CROWDS. The final summarizing chapters are especially strong. Murray does a nice job of narrating his audio book.

Fun but weak
Having interesting insights on the one side, on the other side it verges on conspiracy thinking when speaking of Marxism or the "left". The audiobook was fun to listen to, however, it lacks depth, rigor and accuracy.

An Urgent Read for Our Over-woke Times
An excellent and thoughtful critique of the pitfalls of social justice theory, identity politics, critical race theory, and intersectionality. Over the course of a decade, I've spent a lot of time in groups that would easily be described as "social justice groups", and I've experienced firsthand the sliding of these groups into unreasonableness and counterproductive behavior over the last few years. Douglas brings much-needed clarity to some of the most controversial social and political ideas of our time. I strongly recommend my fellow lefties give this a read and give Murray's analysis careful consideration. His performance on the audiobook is wonderful and entertaining.

Some light of hope in a fog of madness
The book is excellent. The content is logical, well written and shocking at times. The reader does an excellent job and fit the tone of the book. I learned about many frightening events that resemble the beginning of terrible moments of history. I used to be on the left side of politics, now I am gradually moving towards the center. I am glade I listened to this book and I am pretty sure I will listen to it again many more times.
It is refreshing and comforting to see someone courageous, intelligent and articulated enough to tackle the viper's nest that is identity politics. Murray knows what he is talking about and proves with many examples and facts the absurdity of almost any politics based on gender, race or sexual orientation. Some people will say that Murray is just showing one side of the medal, but we know about the other side, it's every where and every day in all the media. Why wast time explaining what is so omnipresent in our everyday life. Also, nobody will ever grudge a lawyer for not defending the other side.

Eloquent Explication
If you get one book this year, this is the one. Tells how social justice is antisocial and fosters injustice.

This is a very hateful book
This book does not give real insight. I got partway through it and deleted it. Instead of explaining things in an objective point of view it was more into rebellion and why groups hate each other. Goes into the speed at which society is speeding up their ability to hate people groups and other select Subsets. If you want to book that gives you reasons to clearly hate people this book is for you. I would never have this book in my house. I am looking for reasons to cut through hatred and heal.
Thank you for your time, I hope you found this review helpful.

Highly recommend
This book is a fantastic summary of the ideas that are causing Western Culture to spiral out of control. I have started buying hard copies of this book for close friends and family. I extended my thanks to the author.

Foucauldian hell
This is a mad journey into Foucauldian-Marxist utopia that became reality. Brilliantly written book gives pleasure and concern in the same time.

Wish We Would Use This With High School Students
Wow!! Mr. Murray does a great job sharing his views on the "evil" of crowds. Sure. There are plenty of examples of good with crowds. Yet, we need to teach our children to recognize when a crowd goes too far. Unless, of course, the student loses his / her ability to be the individual. We want students to recognize the evil of crowds before they choose to be in a crowd. I am grateful for Mr. Murray's courage. Thank you!
