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.

I needed something to convince me I wasn't crazy. I have been staring into this world for awhile wondering how we got to this point where it seems like the most insane people are the ones pulling the strings and getting the power. Dr. Saad puts it all together in a way I can understand. It's a powerful, telling book that is bound to get the ire from the usual pundits and rank order SJW's.

A book for the times

Dr. Saad doesn't disappoint, if you are looking for impassioned polemics against the foolish and irrational events and people of our day. He doesn't hold back the vitriol, so you should be in the right frame of mind. Sharing his personal origins anchors his point of view, and I can respect it. Sharing his numerous Twitter exchanges with idiots is tedious and would only be funny if you happen to BE the kind of person who relishes Twitter flamewars.
I do appreciate Dr. Saad's call for everyone to seek reason and courage when expressing their values. It will help when I challenge the critical thinking of people I know. But I won't be so abrasive!

Society tolerates and even praises immoral, illogical, and downright lunatic beliefs and practices. This book offers an inoculation of courage and reason.

Finally someone with backbone

Narrator was good. Content was important. Reminder to have thick skin and step back and truly analyze difficult subjects. The issue with self censorship is real.
