About this listen

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

The North Korean defector, human rights advocate, and bestselling author of In Order to Live sounds the alarm on the culture wars, identity politics, and authoritarian tendencies tearing America apart.

After defecting from North Korea, Yeonmi Park found liberty and freedom in America. But she also found a chilling crackdown on self-expression and thought that reminded her of the brutal regime she risked her life to escape. When she spoke out about the mass political indoctrination she saw around her in the United States, Park faced censorship and even death threats.

In While Time Remains, Park highlights the dangerous hypocrisies, mob tactics, and authoritarian tendencies that speak in the name of wokeness and social justice. No one is spared in her eye-opening account, including the elites who claim to care for the poor and working classes but turn their backs on anyone who dares to think independently.

Park arrived in America eight years ago with no preconceptions, no political aims, and no partisan agenda. With urgency and unique insight, the bestselling author and human rights activist reminds us of the fragility of freedom, and what we must do to preserve it.

Ms Parks’ life story is inspirational and makes me proud to be a natural born American. Her warnings about our current cultural wars should be heeded, for I already feel my rights are being infringed upon and am developing a healthy distrust of our National Institutions.

Thanks for showing us again what a beacon America is for the rest of the world. But we have to protect it now and going forward if we want freedom!

This book is a must read for everybody UNTIL the final Chapter 12.

There Yeonmi Park contradicts every principle she’s written about to that point.
She condemns the imperial monarchy but praises U.S. imperialism.
She lauds the opportunity for people to determine their own fate but praises the Union for denying the Confederacy that right. (Another contradiction, she, herself, was free to divorce her husband.)
She condemns the socialist state but praises the socialism of FDR and the New Deal.
She praises the Civil Rights movement of the ’60s but can’t figure out the source of the present racial tensions.

As I wrote, it’s a must read for the first 11 chapters.

A well written and ominous warning from an incredibly courageous young woman. Chilling to learn how sinister and deliberate one of our adversaries is and, particularly, to see how it shares some of the current tactics that of the “left.”
