The Canceling of the American Mind

No one has documented the facts and causes of this alarming trend more thoroughly than Greg Lukianoff, joined here by a collaborator, Rikki Schlott -- Steven Pinker * author of Rationality * Brilliant, an essential book... takes us one step further than simply describing and analyzing the problem. They offer serious, rational, and cogent solutions -- Ayaan Hirsi Ali * author of Heretic * Important and very timely... it should be required reading for everyone who believes in freedom of speech -- Piers Morgan * author Wake Up * Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Schlott make an inconvertible case: If we had set out as a society to generate a doctrine designed specifically to demoralize young people-to deprive them of hope and fill them with anxiety-we could not have done better than Cancel Culture, which emphasizes victimhood, emotional fragility, a penchant for avoidance and the absolute right to self-conceptualization. We've enabled the purveyors of malicious gossip, the reputation-savagers, the masters of innuendo-and allowed them to cloak themselves in the guise of compassion. Lukianoff and Schlott are rightly calling on all of us to stand up and say so -- Jordan B. Peterson * author of 12 Rules for Life * Cancel Culture is very real and very dangerous - and this book is the most comprehensive look at the rot threatening our institutions and freedoms -- Ben Shapiro * founder of The Daily Wire * A humanizing and passionate cry for intellectual independence and those who want to think and speak for themselves -- Andrew Yang * co-founder of the Forward Party * This riveting book presents compelling stories about Cancel Culture and its devastating impact ... a game-changer in the Culture Wars -- Nadine Strossen * former president of the ACLU * bold, timely and buttressed by data * The Economist *
