Addicted to Outrage

How Thinking Like a Recovering Addict Can Heal the Country

By: Glenn Beck

Narrated by: Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck, the New York Times bestselling author of The Great Reset—issues a startling challenge to people on both sides of the aisle: America is addicted to outrage, we’re at the height of a twenty-year bender, and we need an intervention.

In the instant New York Times bestseller, 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 Democratic problem. This is everyone’s burden, and we need to think like recovering addicts and change.

Mirroring traditional twelve-step programs, 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 us to a more hopeful, happy future. From learning how to believe in something greater than ourselves to understanding the importance of humility, each chapter encourages self-reflection and growth.

Addicted to Outrage is a timely and 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.
