Über diesen Titel

“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 common sense book we needed back then, and still need perhaps more than ever.

Common sense

The book had been suggested to me by the Audible algorithm for some time. But, I hadn't cared to read, as I didn't know much about Gad Saad, except that I've seen him make sardonic remarks about this or that. As I've been in the unknown about the exact context of his remarks, I've not been dumbfounded by his wit.
Reading his book, though, he gained a lot of esteem.
I think the strength of the book is the combination of a multitude of anecdotes, a solid foundation in evolutionary psychology and his personal account. It is said that the plural of anecdote isn't data, but anecdotes. Yet, if the anecdotes are true, if they are exemplary, and if they are as numerous as Saad's, then they do serve as data/evidence that something has gone astray in the world of liberal academia and elsewhere.

Definitely worthwhile

loved how his book portrays the intellectual corruption of postmodernism and how it spreads everywhere like a cancer. Still the open question remains: why has it found fertile ground?

a must read of our decade

Nobody should remain unaware of a terrible epidemic sweeping through western culture, which was supposedly on the fringes but permeates more and more aspects of society at a concerningly increasing rate.
Professor Saad brilliantly outlines the characteristics of an abhorrent set of ideas threatening the bedrock of modern culture.
The first step for dealing with a disease is its identification, which Professor Saad makes crystal clear for anyone listening to or reading this book.
Arm yourself with the understanding of these pathological ideologies to protect yourself and your loved ones as well as in the long run all of society from this disease spreading.

To important to miss out on!

This book can be considered as a guide to the lost liberal society and a moral compass to young students. Well written Prof. Gad Saad. Thank you.

An absolute must read for higher educators!
