About this listen

Many Americans are confused when they hear that smiling is now racist or that men can have babies. The Woke world is a field of landmines, and no one can be completely sure that where they step is safe. This book explores the psychology driving the current social justice movement. Rooted in a newer form of Marxism, this movement takes Critical Theory and Postmodernism and applies them to identity politics.

Social justice ideology fosters different symptoms of mental illness in those who adopt it, such as depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, narcissism, and paranoid delusions. This mindset has led to riots causing billions of dollars in damages, college campuses torn apart by protests, and activists permanently altering the bodies of children in the name of progress.

Noticing these changes and objecting can get you “canceled,” but more and more people in the West are starting to speak out. This book serves as a foundation for understanding the Woke mindset.


This extensively researched book is the synthesis of the previous five books in the series. Book one, Problematic, is an explanation of the psychology of the social justice movement. Book two, Building Insanity, is a review of the philosophical theories that inform Woke ideology. Book three, Burn it All to the Ground, shows how the theories of Wokeness manifest in real life, such as how Critical Race Theory led to the burning of cities during the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020. Book four, The Ivory Towers of Madness, shows how this ideology moves from universities into the broader culture. Book five, The Cult of Culture Warriors, gives case studies in social justice fanaticism, such as cancel culture. This book, The Woke Mind, summarizes those five books and presents all of the material in a readable way in one place.

This book will help you understand what it means when people say that gender is a social construct, that knitting is racist, that men can have periods, or that "Whiteness is problematic." Woke ideology burst onto the scene, asking everyone to buy into it before it was ever explained. This book is essential reading for anyone trying to understand the social justice movement or how these ideas have penetrated every part of contemporary society.
