Wake Up: Why the world has gone nuts

Why the world has gone nuts

De: Piers Morgan

The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller

It’s time we get back to common sense.
It’s time to cancel the cancel culture.
It’s time to Wake Up.

If, like me, you’re sick and tired of being told how to think, speak, eat and behave, then this book is for you.

If, like me, you think the world’s going absolutely nuts, then this book is for you.

If, like me, you think NHS heroes and Captain Tom are the real stars of our society, not self-obsessed tone-deaf celebrities (and royal renegades!), then this book is for you. If, like me, you’re sickened by the cancel culture bullies destroying people’s careers and lives, then this book is for you. From feminism to masculinity, racism to gender, body image to veganism, mental health to competitiveness at school, the right to free speech and expressing an honestly held opinion is being crushed at the altar of ‘woke’ political correctness.

In 2020, the world faced its biggest crisis in a generation: a global pandemic. In the UK, it exposed deep divisions within society and laid bare a toxic culture war that had been raging beneath the surface. From the outset, Piers Morgan urged the nation to come to its senses, once and for all, and held the Government to often ferocious account over its handling of the crisis.

COVID-19 shed shocking light on the problems that plague our country. Stockpilers and lockdown-cheats revealed our grotesque levels of self-interest and the virtue-signalling woke brigade continued their furious assault on free speech, shutting down debate on important issues like gender, racism and feminism. Yet just as coronavirus exposed our flaws, it also showcased our strengths. We saw selfless bravery in the heroic efforts of our healthcare staff. A greater appreciation of migrant workers. A return of local community spirit. And inspiring, noble acts from members of the public such as Captain Sir Tom Moore.

Wake Up is Piers’ rallying cry for a united future in which we reconsider what really matters in life. It is a plea for the return of true liberalism, where freedom of speech is king. Most of all, it is a powerful account of how the world finally started to wake up, and why it mustn’t go back to sleep again.

Reseñas de la Crítica

‘A fast, entertaining read’ The Guardian

‘A very timely trumpet blast’ Saga

Beyond excellent…

I couldn’t agree more with anyone on the planet than Piers Morgan. I’m not a leftie far from it, not a righty, far from it. I’ve been enormously frustrated with the division of today. Listening to Piers talk is pure therapy and his POV could not be more balanced. Kudos to you Piers Morgan.

Changed my opinion of Piers

I wish there were future diary editions. Sad it stopped when things continued to beg his narrative.

A fantastic read

10/10 I was facinated by the themes of the book. So glad that Piers narrated his book. It felt really personal, like having a nice debate with an old friend. Well done!

good book BUT...

I enjoyed the book and used to be a Piers fan. However he's unwillingness to open his mind to his views on Tommy Robinson has turned me off of him. The inability to take in new information & change your perspective is plain stubborn foolishness, so I can't respect him.

Enjoyable listen

I throughly enjoyed listening to this -trying to get my very woke daughter to give it a go. I thought it offered a good perspective of liberalism as it stands today and gave me much to think about. I hope Piers makes peace with vegan sausages :-)
