THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
'Topical, engaging, personable, and above all, reassuring' Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
From host of The Rubin Report, the most-watched talk show about free speech and big ideas on YouTube right now, a roadmap for free thinking in an increasingly censored world.
The left is no longer liberal.
Once on the side of free speech and tolerance, progressives now ban speakers from college campuses, "cancel" people who aren't up to date on the latest genders, and force religious people to violate their conscience. They have abandoned the battle of ideas and have begun fighting a battle of feelings. This uncomfortable truth has turned moderates and true liberals into the politically homeless class.
Dave Rubin launched his political talk show The Rubin Report in 2015 as a meeting ground for free thinkers who realize that partisan politics is a dead end. He hosts people he both agrees and disagrees with--including those who have been dismissed, deplatformed, and despised--taking on the most controversial issues of our day. As a result, he's become a voice of reason in a time of madness.
Now, Rubin gives you the tools you need to think for yourself in an age when tribal outrage is the only available alternative. Based on his own story as well as his experiences from the front lines of the free speech wars, this book will empower you to make up your own mind about what you believe on any issue and teach you the fine art of:
Checking your facts, not your privilege, when it comes to today's most pervasive myths, from the wage gap to hate crimes.
Standing up to the mob against today's absurd PC culture, when differences of opinion can bring relationships, professional or personal, to a sudden end.
Defending classically liberal principles such as individual rights and limited government, because freedom is impossible without them.
The Progressive Woke Machine is waging war against the last free thinkers in the world. Don't Burn This Book is the definitive account of our current political upheaval and your guide to surviving it.

A great guide on your journey to reclaim your mind
Don’t Burn This Book is as much a story of Dave Rubin’s personal journey, as it’s a guide for how to travel your own. Rubin collects many teachings from his various interview subjects over the years, into a comprehensive guide, and while the reader who’ve followed him through his journey may not find much to be new until the last few chapters, those last few chapters more than make up for the journey there.
If there’s any criticism that should be levied, is that for a guy who’ve made himself known for discussing the big ideas, the book is surprisingly US-centric. If you live in the US, this is all fine and well, but should you live anywhere else in the world, you may not get as much out of the chapter and passages praising the United States (oh, and as I type this on their Independence Day; Happy 4th July!) as Rubin perhaps had hoped for.
