I am only a few chapters in, but this book delivers powerful insight into the way that media and social media and our own need for confirmation are feeding the division of the country. Everybody needs to read this book and consider whether they may be a part of the problem.

As someone who now eschews political labels, not feeling "at home" or having confidence in either of the two major political parties as they exist today, I have found Glenn's similar journey and insight very helpful. This book examines how social media has contributed to the breakdown of civility and the increase of tribalism in American culture. If you are concerned about these issues, whether you come from a right-leaning background or a left-leaning one, you owe it to yourself to give this book a read. Hopefully, it will encourage those who read it to evaluate their own behavior towards others (as we all have likely contributed to the breakdown without realizing it), and influence the way they interact with people who have differences of opinion in the future.

If you're satisfied with the way things are going in Washington then this book isn't for you. But if you want to understand what's happening to our country's politics--and most importantly, how to fix it--then I strongly recommend "Addicted to Outrage." Few people understand Washington and the media better than Glenn Beck. In this book, he'll walk you through tough questions that encourage introspection and growth. It's well worth your time.

Thought provoking, he understands something on a broader level then most people. Essential reading for the thoughtful mind.

I've been listening to Beck for 20 years, but that doesn't mean I agree with him 100% of the time. I have spent the last 5 years working in social media and writing content for internet outlets. I have seen firsthand how outrage sells, and gets clicks and, well, we have let it become our religion and sadly also our drug of choice. We're addicted to it. I bought this on audio because listening to him speak it brings it really to life. If you're a fan of his radio program, buy the audible. Coming to this outrage addiction that society is suffering from in the same way addicts come to recovery is brilliant. Read it. Listen to it. Then get off your computer, get over your rage, stop online shaming, and go get back into your life.

Thanks again for a sleepless night with a great book. Glenn has inspired us to look at our lives and friends differently, our more left leaning friends, listen to them and react with calm. Our right leaning friends that want to start fighting, explain calmly why they should not. The way to fix our nations problems are clearly stated and can be easily carried out. Thanks to reading most of Glenn's books we have a unique prospective on the America we find ourselves in today. God bless and may the light of truth make it's way through the darkness.

"It’s all your fault”, Glenn says. Glenn’s analysis of the problem we are facing in America is that we—you and I and all of us, or most all of us—are addicted to outrage. He misses the obvious: communism has failed abysmally, as has been dramatically and tragically demonstrated over and over again. But, the left is convinced that it will work this time if only the whole western paradigm is destroyed. In this, we see the very definition of addiction: continuing to do the same thing over and over expecting different results. He has failed to see the part that postmodernism is playing in fueling the left’s last desperate attempt to prove that they are right about communism; and in attempting to prove the soundness of their theory, they find it necessary to, in typical alcoholic or drug addict fashion, destroy everything around them. Glenn is a talented man who is knowledgeable about our culture. So, it is a marvel that he seems not to have stumbled onto, as I did, Stephen Hick’s, “Explaining Postmodernism,” (published in 2004). If he had read Hicks before setting out to write “Addicted to Outrage,” he could not have failed to realize that our traditional ways of “thinking” will not save us from the left-wing assault on the balance between unity and diversity (the universe) that has been gaining momentum for the past two hundred years and is now reaching its crescendo. Our cultural conversation (the logos) in which we stand in our westernized version of the cosmos, built on the foundation of Plato’s attempted harmonization of Heraclitus’s diversity, and Parmenides’ unity, is now in its final phase of being destroyed—deconstructed. Our foundation in Lockean rational empiricism was always shaky. It did not help that Fredrich Nietzsche decided to take a hammer to Plato’s embrace of Parmenides’ unity and in embracing Heraclitus set out to destroy unity, western humanism, God, and the universe as we know it: The true world—we have abolished. What world has remained? The apparent one perhaps? But no! With the true world we have also abolished the apparent one.1Being nice and reasonable is not going to stop the Nietzschean diversity juggernaut that has embraced chaos over cosmos. The movement is out to destroy reason. “Reason,” writes Michael Foucault–one of the architects of postmodern deconstructionism–“is the ultimate language of madness.” Any person who knows anything about addiction recovery knows immediately that Glenn Back does not know anything important about addiction recovery. The subtitle of this book says it all: Thinking Like a Recovering Addict Can Heal the Country. Addiction recovery is a process of teaching people how to act—not think. “Take twelve steps,” the world of recovery urges us. Glenn insanely entitles five chapters of his book, as well as having the last word of his book be, “think.” The last paragraph says it all, “Here is what I’m asking: think. That’s all; the next time you dive headfirst into a political discussion and your blood starts flowing and your voice begins rising and gets a little strident, think. (The advice that is usually given in this circumstance is to take a breath and count to ten. AA advises this as well as prayer, call your sponsor, go to a meeting.)2 Glenn’s “think” formula does not work for addicts. A couple of favorite sayings in the world of AA are, “Our best thinking got us here;” and, “Don’t think, don’t drink, go to meetings.” Glenn is clearly unaware that he is a loyal follower of Rene Descartes: I think, therefore I am. He refuses to acknowledge that the postmodern opposition is committed to irrationally and not thinking. Addicts who want recovery, I say again, are taught to act—to take twelve actions, steps—which lead to learning— not how to think—but how to actually “hear.” To practice the presence; to learn to listen to the voice of “a power greater than ourselves.” AA, the original twelve-step program was birthed out of Rev. Frank Buchman’s Oxford Groups. Buchman was using a set of principles, which later became the steps, to teach people to hear from God. The ‘logos’ in twelve step recovery is not something you think; “it” is something you hear. Glenn, as a recovering alcoholic should have shared with his readers what the problem is, “we are selfish and self-centered…extreme examples self-will run riot, though we usually don’t think so…and we must get rid of this selfishness, we must, or it kills us.”3 It’s his job (responsibility) as a recovering alcoholic to share his experience strength and hope with others. But Glenn, though expressing hope, does not seem to have gained any of the experience and strength which is common to all ‘recovered’ 12-steppers: Step Twelve – “Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps we tried to carry this message to others….”4 Glenn may have had some sort of spiritual experience which humbled him slightly and made his compulsion less severe as the result of belonging to a 12-step group, but he does not seem to have gained the promised spiritual awakening and he does not act or speak like a person who has internalized the twelve actions (steps) necessary to have a complete psychic change. I do not mean to be judgmental. But Glenn does not yet seem to have made much progress in stepping out of self-centeredness. How else does one explain why he would try to come up with another path? In his last chapter, which he entitles, “On Saving The World,” he proposes a 10-step program which he names: My Glenn Beck coming together to save America Program (so much for the idea of humble anonymity or being a member of the “we.”)5 Actually, Glenn does not claim to be a ‘recovering (or recovered) alcoholic,’ unless I missed it somewhere. He admits to his alcoholism and says that he got better by going to AA and then to a Mormon addition recovery support group. You know he does not have real recovery when he says, “it isn’t simple or easy.” AA, however, says that it’s, “simple, but not easy.” Glenn says that “it requires strength to do it.”(recover) ; Twelve Step recovery starts with an admission of powerlessness, “6 We admitted we were powerless over…(whatever)...and that our lives had become unmanageable.” We are insane (Step 2), and we come to believe that, “God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.”7 Glenn is simply confused and is spreading this confusion all around our world. I beg him to read Stephen Hicks and listen more closely to what he and Jordon Peterson are saying about the challenges of postmodernism. Read Heather McDonald’s book on the “Diversity Delusion.” Read Russell Brand’s sober and humble outreach to an addicted world: "So whilst this program will work for you regardless of creed or lack of creed, it will also disabuse you of the notion, however conscious of it you are, that you and your drives are the defining motivations for your life. The reason I worked the 12 Steps was because I was desperate. The reason I continue to is because they have awakened me to the impossibility of happiness based on my previous worldview: that I am the centre of the world and that what I want is important." Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.9 P.S. I feel Glenn’s pain. There is still unhealed trauma.10 It is quite painful. There is help. I pray that Glenn comes and joins us “as we trudge the Road of Happy Destiny.” P.P.S. AA was founded when Bill Wilson met Dr. Bob and said to him, “I need to talk to you or I will not be able to stay sober.”11 Both Bill and Frank before him believed that their methodology would one day say the world. We don’t need another program. We need you, Glenn. We cannot grow in our sobriety without you.1 Nietzsche, Fredrick, Beyond Good and Evil2 Addicted to Outrage (ATF) Chapters: 25.

I guess I was more of a coward. That is the way I used to look at it. I was too afraid to kill myself.” The pain here is palpable. His Wiki bio says that she died in a small boat accident on Puget Sound. She and a male companion both drowned. There were, according to the report, no witnesses. The vagueness regarding these facts is symptomatic of what is coming to be known as an addiction to “underbeing.” Lack of healing is the source of the chaos in Glenn’s life. It pervades his work. It would be great if Glenn could be free of this addiction and become the world changer he is meant to be. Maybe ALANON could help or the Adult Children of Alcoholics Program. (ACOA). There is also UA.11 AA, pg 164
