Discomforting Truth All At Once

Mamet’s stark colorful word pictures conveyed in the cadence of an incisive mind from a brilliant man constitute an intellectual gift. His championing of qualities such as perseverance, hard work and courage over “peer moderation and communal whining” may discomfort many but insights such as these are well worth the discomfort.

Lots to think about

David Mamet is a rare bird: a member of the creative/entertainment industry who espouses conservative virtues and calls out the Left for its hypocrisy and absurdity. Similar to my all-time favorite conservative, Thomas Sowell, Mamet started out as a leftist.
This audio book was interesting, consisting of dozens of brief chapters of musings/commentaries by Mamet about numerous topics.
Mamet is clearly brilliant, and perhaps that is the main criticism I have for the book. His sentences are long and dense, and sometimes went over my head. That's more a reflection of my shortcomings rather than his, but it has never been a problem for me when listening to Sowell. Dr. Sowell is equally brilliant but has a more succinct style that I prefer, especially for books that I consume while driving.
Overall, a thought provoking and entertaining book.
