Addicted to Outrage

De: Glenn Beck

Narrado por: Glenn Beck

America is addicted to hatred, we're at the height of a 20-year bender, and we need an intervention.

In Addicted to Outrage, New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck addresses how America has become more and more divided - both politically and socially. Americans are now less accepting, less forgiving, and have lost faith in many of the country's signature ideals. They are quick to point a judgmental finger at the opposing party, are unwilling to doubt their own ideologies, and refuse to have any self-awareness whatsoever. Beck states that this current downward spiral will ultimately lead to the destruction of everything America has fought so hard to preserve. This is not simply a Republican problem. This is not simply a Democrat problem. This is everyone's burden, and we need to think like recovering addicts and change.

Mirroring the 12 Step program, Beck outlines the actions that Americans must follow in order to prevent a farther decline down this current path of hostile bitterness. Drawing from his own life experiences and including relevant examples for each step, he is able to lead the reader to a more hopeful, happy future. From families who learned to forgive killers to relearning to believe in something greater than ourselves to understanding the importance of humility, each chapter encourages self-reflection and growth.

Addicted to Outrage is more than one of Glenn Beck's old political books. It is a necessary guide for how Americans, right and left, must change to survive.

Can't We All Just Get Along

Loved the presentation here. Well researched. Well-thought-out. Solid thinking based on historical facts. Bottom line... can we please all get along. Can we appreciate the otherness that makes America great? Can we dialogue with a difference and not insist on absolute hatred of the other side? Perhaps, can we get to a point where we listen to and learn from others? Maybe it's too late because, truly, we as a whole seem to be 'Addicted to Outrage.'

Addiction to be overcome so everyone can be free!

May we all get back to desiring to know and understand one another and to ultimately value one another with particular emphasis on valuing our differences!

very pertinent to the times...

Great book although it gets a bit wordy at times. Great Job Mr. Beck! I recommend this to everyone that wants to better themselves.

Inspiring.

Following the steps of this book will not be easy but will allow dialogue to return between factions that have refused to hear anything but the echo chambers of their own side for far too long.

What Our Country Needs

Glenn uses his personal experience, history, and common sense to point out the dangers we are facing as a country and gives a sound process to bring us back to being UNITED. We so desperately need to see what we are doing to ourselves. We need to reach out to the other aid and listen.

Must read

This book is a must read for everyone everywhere. It ,in my humble opinion, should be in curriculum in high schools and universities alike. It is an unbiased approach on how to heal our country that is so addicted to outrage and false reality.

I highly recommend this book to all of my family, friends, clients, and anyone I have a conversation with. This work is not only an eye opener, but a problem solver as well.

I have been listening to Mr. Beck for years, and can appreciate his journey and growth as both an entertainer and human being. Congratulations, this is a fantastic book!

wow. just wow. I'm outraged that the book ended.

America needs this book at this time in history so bad right now.. this will heal the nation and by healing the nation we can and will heal the world.

This is what America needs

Glenn speaks truth throughout this book that both sides of the aisle can whole-heartedly agree with. If everyone in America just carefully listened to these truths, I have hope and faith we can still turn this country around and set an example for the rest of the world.

Shockingly good.

This book started off exactly as I thought it would. Talking about the internet and the way people respond, react and discuss things. Addictions to social media.

However this book goes further into history and it prompted me to seek out information on so many other topics. I have to admit. I am now a big fan of Glenn Beck as an author.

Both side need to read this!

What a great way to look at the feverish debate we have in this country.
