Story
The dystopian future we've been warned of is here. Dave Rubin has been on the front lines of the culture wars for years. Now, he offers tactics you can use to protect yourself from today’s authoritarian rule—from resisting the grip of Big Tech to staying sane in a post-truth world. What’s more, he offers a vision for the next generation of patriots who will need to face the future head-on, holding fast to their values and creating a meaningful life no matter how frenzied and fabricated the news of the day is.

Story
From Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States to the New York Times' 1619 project, the modern Left views American history through the lens of competing oppressions, replacing the traditional understanding that all Americans are part of a shared journey toward the perfection of universal ideals. Their attacks on the values that built our nation, from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of marriage and faith communities, are insidious because they replace each of them with nothing beyond an increased reliance on the government.

For those who witnessed the global collapse of socialism, its resurrection in the 21st century comes as a surprise, even a shock. How can socialism work now when it has never worked before? In this pathbreaking audiobook, best-selling author Dinesh D’Souza argues that the socialism advanced today by the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, and Elizabeth Warren is very different from the socialism of Lenin, Mao, and Castro.

In Blackout, Owens argues that this automatic allegiance is both illogical and unearned. She contends that the Democrat Party has a long history of racism and exposes the ideals that hinder the Black community’s ability to rise above poverty, live independent and successful lives, and be an active part of the American dream.

But The Great Reset is not a work of fiction. It is a highly influential movement among the world’s elite to “reset” the global economy using banks, government programs, and environmental, social, and governance metrics.

According to the establishment media, the intelligentsia, and our political chattering class, the greatest threat to American freedom lies in right-wing authoritarianism. We’ve heard that some 75 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump represent the rise of American fascism; that conservatives have allowed authoritarianism to bloom in their midst, creating a grave danger for the republic.

In 2012, on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, an improvised explosive device left Dan Crenshaw's right eye destroyed and his left blinded. Only through the careful hand of his surgeons, and what doctors called a miracle, did Crenshaw's left eye recover partial vision. And yet, he persevered, completing two more deployments. Why? There are certain stories we tell ourselves about the hardships we face - we can become paralyzed by adversity or we can adapt and overcome. We can be fragile or we can find our fortitude. Crenshaw delivers a set of lessons to help you do just that.

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.

As homes and businesses were being burned to the ground and livelihoods were being destroyed, corporate media engaged in a full-scale attempt to gaslight the American people, pushing Orwellian narratives about the violent riots by mislabeling them as peaceful, democratic demonstrations, all seemingly to bolster their biased political views.

Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that certain people shouldn't practice yoga? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only White people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed to challenge the logic of Western society? In this probing volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields.

Publisher's Summary
"Topical, engaging, personable, and above all, reassuring." (Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, author of 12 Rules for Life)
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 realize 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 book 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 and gun violence to climate change and 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 classical liberal principles, 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.

Food for thought
I enjoyed the thought provoking scenarios Dave shares in this book. Being able to understand his journey from what he steadfastly believed in to how his viewpoint changed and why, is a great reminder that just because you believed one thing, doesn’t mean you can’t shift your beliefs. Freedom of speech and thought is paramount to a free and great society and Dave underlined that point very well. I also enjoyed the manner in which he tells his story. Great book!

Brilliant book demonstrating how gullible Dave is
This book is a masterpiece, if you're looking for a book to convince your edgy high schooler to join the alt right. Its full of anecdotal arguments that are used to "prove" that the ENTIRE progressive movement is wrong. He then accuses the media of lying and cherry picking data, while he does the exact same thing. Only, he's not as good as it.
I'd give this book a B+, if it were written by a Grade 10 student in their Social Studies class.

It's not bad, but not brilliant.
The topic is timely and relevant, but in terms of literary quality, this book is just average. I suggest looking at the works of other authors such as Jonathan Haidt, Douglas Murray and Thomas Sowell.

Poorly written, wrong on facts, poor content.
I gave it a try and I could not finish it. I have no dog in the fight (I am not leftwing or anything) and I am really interested in ideas. There are much better books addressing problems with cancel culture (e.g Haidt, Nagle, Hoff Sommers) or 'classical-liberal politics'. Unless you are a fan, it is a waste of time.

Right off the bat I'm admitting biase. That being said it took me a couple of days to pull the trigger on this one. I already watch his podcast regularly what else could he say in this that I haven't heard already? Man I'm I glad I did this book really encapsulates the last 5 years for me.

Free Thought at Quite the Cost
The idea that anything in this book could liberate your way of thinking is not only laughable, its quite frankly criminal. The book is filled with nonsense notions of victimhood, clumsily thrown together political reasoning, and reads more of a satire of right-wing thought than a proponent of it. If I didn't know who Rubin was, I'd think it is a well disguised leftist parody of right-wing and libertarianism. Instead, it's just another example of why we shouldn't let YouTube personalities be thought leaders.

Disappointing
I am a centrist independent. I was hoping this book would be an interesting new perspective on the current political climate. Not so much!
Whilst there is some room to say that that social media fuels an outrage culture, that makes attempts at honest discourse almost impossible, this author is not constructively discussing that. He can only see one side of the “playing field” that our politics has become, and has chosen to hate on the “side” that, whilst often misguided in my opinion, is at least well meaning. I find it hard to say positive things about Trumpist republicans - although I understand the anger and fear that motivates them.

P.s For a more interesting (although still flawed) take on modern politics, try Matt Taibbi’s latest book.
