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.

Geschichte
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.

Geschichte
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.

Why are so few people talking about the eruption of sexual violence and harassment in Europe’s cities? This violence isn’t a figment of alt-right propaganda, best-selling author Ayaan Hirsi Ali insists, even if neo-Nazis exaggerate it. It’s a real problem that Europe - and the world - cannot continue to ignore. She explains why so many young Muslim men who arrive in Europe engage in sexual harassment and violence, tracing the roots of sexual violence in the Muslim world from institutionalized polygamy to the lack of legal and religious protections for women.

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.

Geschichte
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.

Geschichte
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.

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.

Geschichte
A vast canvas of camps, prisons, transit centres and secret police, of informers and spies and interrogators but also of everyday heroism, The Gulag Archipelago is Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's grand masterwork. Based on the testimony of some 200 survivors, and on the recollection of Solzhenitsyn's own 11 years in labour camps and exile, it chronicles the story of those at the heart of the Soviet Union who opposed Stalin, and for whom the key to survival lay not in hope but in despair.

Recently many people have assumed that we are blank slates shaped by our environment. But this denies the heart of our being: human nature. Violence is not just a product of society; male and female minds are different; the genes we give our children shape them more than our parenting practices. To acknowledge our innate abilities, Pinker shows, is not to condone inequality but to understand the very foundations of humanity.

Discrimination and Disparities challenges believers in such one-factor explanations of economic outcome differences as discrimination, exploitation, or genetics.

Yet the empirical evidence with which it backs up its analysis spans the globe and challenges beliefs across the ideological spectrum.

lazy cash grab
completely unreflected, anecdotal cash grab trying to ride the flattening wave of the "intellectual dark web". however, if you like your prior beliefs to be confirmed by someone proudly reading his own tweets owning the libs. this is your book, lamenting endlessly about cherry picked anecdotes on the most superficial level. no analysis, nothing new and I admittingly taped out early. i think the author is a smart guy and fully aware but seems to be in desperate need for money and your donation is certainly well received. you have been warned, though.

Definitely worthwhile
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.

Baseless rant
I heard since of Saad's YouTube videos and thought he was interesting. the book hat disappointed me. what started as a very valid idea was argued with personal anecdotes and bias. I felt there was nothing positive or of this experience.

To important to miss out on!
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.

Parts were great, parts were dry and drawn out
The audiobook starts of rather slow, but it gets really interesting in the middle. There were some genuinely great ideas and concepts especially around that time that gave me some reason to ponder. Saad's view on truth and science is a refreshingly conservative and reasoned analysis on how things should be.
However, the last 1 1/2 hours felt dry and unnecessarily streched. When he establishes an "Epistemological network" to criticize Islam he actually reads of all 26 top candidates on the FBI most wanted list for like 2 minutes non stop. This list reading occurs in similar fashion about 5x in the last 90 minutes, sometimes with the 20 most homophobe countries etc.
That is probably a fault if the audio book, in the real book you'd quickly glance over the list to get a good enough picture.
In any case this was worth listening to.
The narrator was clear and understandable, did a great job emphasizing sarcasm and a horrible job at foreign language pronunciation, but that is forgivable.
