Publisher's Summary

“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.

amazingly well written, scathing and bold

Gad Saad has done Full justice to the topic and scope of this book. In his brutally logical reasoning on topics across variety of genres, he pierces the conscience of fake activists, politicians and rekindles the lackadaisical mindsets to take charge and act, speak up for justice and for oppressed. Jim Meskimen's narration and voice are equally powerful and keeps the listener fully engaged and alert. A great audio book to get into my permanent collection.

An important book

A very important book that needs to be read by everyone. The ridiculousness of the situation is beautifully articulated, explained and criticized.

Exceptional! Dr. Gad Saad at his best!

If you have little idea about how WOKE and other silly "progressive" ideas are strangle-holding and killing common sense, then you should read this book! By applying the concepts from evolutionary psychology and many other associated domains, the "Dr. Good Looks" explains the root cause of such toxic ideas finding place in academia and intelligentsia! This is a fascinating read, the humour with which Dr. Saad explains all topics is 'sans pareil'! Every sensible person in the 21st century should read the book!!

Profound and thought provoking book

This book has taught me that judging is okay if the reason and process is correct. World is filled with people displaying Ostrich Parasitic Syndrome, victim hood, and postmodernism. We need to step up and oppose such delusional ideologies instead of caving in social pressure. I didn’t agree with all the examples and explanations in the book, but as Gad rightly mentioned that intellectual diversity is important and we must constantly strive for the truth.

A must read for today's times

Idea pathogens are really killing common sense. Could relate the examples in the Indian context too.

witty and engaging

The narration is seamless but the conversational style of the author makes the book stretch out more than it should have.While it can't be said the author is boring but he sounded a little complacent about his capacity to find the flaws which all others miss due to their innate incompetence.
