If you have never heard of Gad Saad, or never picked. up one of his books, this is the time to take note. Do yourself a favour and grab his latest release.
There are books that ask questions and there are some that make you think. There are books that make you reevaluate how you perceive something. This book is a combination of them all. It demands your attention. It’s not a gentle read; it is a book that needs your undivided attention. However, it will make you smile too.
The core of the book is that Western society has become so consumed by emotional thinking and performative compassion that it has started abandoning common sense, accountability, and logic. In his view, empathy without logic can become dangerous. It is a bold argument, and he delivers it with the confidence of a man who has had his fair share of controversy.
Saad writes with humour, sarcasm, and intelligence. He doesn’t sit on the fence. His opinions are blunt & to the point, well backed up with research. His observations are sharp and written in a way that makes even the most complicated of subjects easily readable for the average person.
The book is constant. There is no time to take a breath when you are reading and the battle is ongoing. If you’re looking for a calm and balanced discussion this book is not for you.
The book is opinionated. It’s confrontational. There are moments of deliberate provocation. But by the time you’re done, you will have plenty to think about.
