kbood84 's review for:
The premise of this book is using science and logic to combat some of what Gad Saad calls extreme views held by progressives in the US. I am admittedly not the target audience for this book, but I picked it up to get a different perspective. One of the problems with this book is that Gad doesn’t use science or logic to prove his points. The book feels more like a rant and he uses his own personal experiences as evidence to refute some progressive views. His references are largely his own YouTube channel or podcast episode appearances. Any social/political issue, regardless of whether it’s a far right or far left viewpoint is multi faceted and Gad, when he does provide some reasonable scientific reference, over simplifies the issues as it fits his narrative. While I do agree that extreme viewpoints need to be analyzed critically, this book didn’t provide the scientific and logic driven analysis that I was expecting. It was also very one sided - a more convincing book would have included far right “mind parasites” as well.
