Mental Immunity has descriptive copy which is not yet available from the Publisher.

Disappointing

The title sounded promising. The attacks and use of political examples make it lose credibility and appear more like an attempt to gain popularity.

Awesome

I am listening to this again and look forward to playing the reasoning game with friends and family.

I was hoping for an in depth psychological profile

I was hoping for an in depth psychological profile to q anon and Donald Trump's supporters, what exactly is wrong with them, why they do the things that they do, are they evil? Do they have a Mental Disorder? Do they know that they're wrong? Are they just trolling us in real life? Is it greed? Is it racism? I was hoping he had talked to people who either believe in Q ANON and/ or had voted for Trump or both. But they are hardly mentioned. After doing years of research on my own, this book basically just tells me the things that I already know. There's not too much new information, and if you're already an aware person who has done shadow work, has empathy and compassion or asks yourself why you believe or why do the things that you do, you are willing to take a new evidence and change your mind when new evidence found is presented then you probably don't need to read this book. Unfortunately the people that do need to listen to it and learn how to think critically and listen to science/facts probably will never listen to this book. It's like an alcoholic they can't get help until they admit that they have a problem. Ultimately those who have voted for Trump or Q ANON will continue to believe the lies and live in their own altered reality, so we must start with the children. We need to implement critical thinking into schools, using discernment, basically changing the entire model of education that's telling you what is true, and what you need to believe. We need to teach people how to access information, discern what is true/what is real, what is verifiable, and then make judgements as to what is needed. Teaching empathy, sociology, humanities getting in touch with nature, there's so many things that could fix these problems, but until people are willing to make the changes and do the work ourselves in order to be the change we wish to see, many will continue to believe misinformation. Hopefully social media sites will be regulated more and the spread lies/misinformation will be reduced. I returned this book because it offered me no new information, and it's very repetitive, it probably could have been cut down a couple chapters if he took out what he repeated multiple times.

Deceptively Obvious

Brilliant information and rationally argued on the logic; but glaringly unapplied by the Author. The obvious progressive liberal views overflow and pollute the very principles presented.

Narrator and punctuation

This book is great; really interesting and engaging. I found myself pausing what was just said to process the idea. So what is my problem? The narrator has a nasty habit of running over full stops. That sounds petty - I'm sorry. Full stops (periods) are an important part of writing, speech, storytelling and yes, narration. The brilliant work that Andy Norman has done writing this book is severely hampered by this rookie mistake. Following is my review with the punctuation removed...
