"A virus is sweeping through our civilization--a mind virus
corrupting the brains of students, professors, and the public at
large--and The Parasitic Mind is the vaccine that will counter this
pernicious pandemic."-- "Michael Shermer, PhD, publisher at Skeptic
magazine and New York Times bestselling author of Giving the Devil
His Due"
"A wonderfully intelligent, witty, and riveting account of the
politically correct madness engulfing our society. The Parasitic
Mind is a must-read for anyone concerned about victim politics,
cancel culture, and the assault on reason. Saad not only expertly
diagnoses the malady, he also points the way to a cure."--
"Christina Hoff Sommers, resident scholar at the American
Enterprise Institute and co-author of One Nation Under Therapy"
"His courage, his rationality, and his enthusiasm for that
much-neglected thing, the truth, shine through this powerful
book."-- "Matt Ridley, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of
The Rational Optimist and How Innovation Works"
"Read this book, strengthen your resolve, and help us all return to
reason."-- "Jordan Peterson, PhD, clinical psychologist, professor
of psychology at the University of Toronto, and author of 12 Rules
for Life: An Antidote to Chaos"
"With disarming humor and withering logic, evolutionary behavioral
scientist Gad Saad shows us that self-delusion is an
equal-opportunity employer, not defined by race, ethnic background,
sexual orientation, political leanings, or level of education.
Nothing is taboo. To read The Parasitic Mind is to understand why
so many people either embrace Saad for his clarity or reject him
for holding up a mirror to their inconsistencies."-- "Paul A.
Offit, MD, Maurice R. Hilleman Professor of Vaccinology, Perelman
School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and author of
Deadly Choices: How the Anti-Vaccine Movement Threatens Us All"
