From the author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos comes a provocative hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.

Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only White people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed to challenge the logic of Western society? In this probing volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields.

Publisher's Summary
The West’s commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism have become endangered by a series of viral forces in our society today. Renowned host of the popular YouTube show, The Saad Truth, Dr. Gad Saad exposes how an epidemic of idea pathogens are spreading like a virus and killing common sense in the West.
Serving as a powerful follow-up to Jordan Peterson’s book 12 Rules for Life, Dr. Saad unpacks what is really happening in progressive safe zones, why we need to be paying more attention to these trends, and what we must do to stop the spread of dangerous thinking.
A professor at Concordia University who has witnessed this troubling epidemic first-hand, Dr. Saad dissects a multitude of these concerning forces (corrupt thought patterns, belief systems, attitudes, etc.) that have given rise to a stifling political correctness in our society and how these have created serious consequences that must be remedied - before it’s too late.

Profound and thought provoking book
This book has taught me that judging is okay if the reason and process is correct. World is filled with people displaying Ostrich Parasitic Syndrome, victim hood, and postmodernism. We need to step up and oppose such delusional ideologies instead of caving in social pressure. I didn’t agree with all the examples and explanations in the book, but as Gad rightly mentioned that intellectual diversity is important and we must constantly strive for the truth.

Fantastic book
This book is fantastic. it encapsulates the problem that has not only engulfed the West but now the entire global sphere. We are watching a journey of a global culture shifting from being based on honor and individuality to one based on victimhood. There is a global victimhood competition. Everyone is shouting my victimhood is better than yours. Dr Saad explains this beautifully using examples from hard science. But the best part is Dr Saad gives concrete examples to deal with the same.

Some pros and some cons
I heard about this book a couple months ago, and it sounded interesting since I love reading about the irrationality of people. Previously, I never heard of Gad Saad, so I followed him on Twitter and checked out his YouTube channel. Within about a week, I unfollowed him. I'm 100% for debating and the sharing of ideas, but like many of the current SJW-bashing "intellectuals", they seem more interested in arguing than having a debate. Nevertheless, I still purchased the book on release day.
This book definitely falls into the category of books I'm reading of people I disagree with, but not by much. If I had to break it down into percentages, I'd say I disagree with about 60% of what Gad Saad has to say, but I agree with 40%. But when it comes to his overall argument that we should be able to have logical, rational discussions without people becoming outraged, I 100% disagree.
While Gad Saad uses quite a bit of research to back his arguments, it's only on specific subjects. For people like Gad Saad, Sam Harris, Dave Rubin, and others, I feel there are some low-hanging fruit subjects that they love capitalizing on. When it comes to implicit biases, they avoid discussing the research because they either A) know the research isn't on their side or B) are afraid of what the research shows. Rather than looking at the research of people like Dr. Jennifer Eberdhardt, they try to simplify the message of the book White Fragility. Personally, I'd love to see someone like Gad Saad go head-to-head with Dr. Eberdhardt or Keith Payne to discuss biases and inequality.
Lastly, I gave this book a 3-star rating because there's a group of these authors that don't really present anything new in their books, but they know they'll make money off of the echo chamber they've built, so they figure "why not?".

Please allow the author to read their book
That was an abomination of Saad’s thoughts and words. Hiring a voice to pretend to care absolutely destroys the poignancy of his work. The amount of mispronounced, underwhelming, and incorrectly emphasized language detracts from the intention of this book. Saad himself is fun, witty, sarcastic, and extremely intelligent in his analysis, and your voice actor pales in comparison to the author. The $ you save by hiring a vocal ‘professional’ is lost immediately as the audiobook has no ‘sticking power’ when reduced this way. I love the content, I despise the delivery.

You will smile at various phrases that the author has invented but after a while you will realize how deep his thoughts are. What distinguishes this book from others on the fall of Western Civilization is the accurate and wholesome diagnosis of the problem, choice of clear words and the broadness of the solutions offered. This book must be part of college curriculum and beyond.

An Inculation to Disordered Thinking and Chaos
I graduated from The Evergreen State College in 2017, the year a mob of angry students overran the school and caused a disruption that garnered national attention. I stood by and watched as my alma mater was debased to pander to the hero fantasies of a group of self-indulgent children. I knew if I followed my conscience, I would pay the price and lose the good will as an ally that I had worked so hard to achieve.
What happened at Evergreen was very serious, and very wrong. Now, the sentiments of those students have scaled to encompass the nation, and the moral development of a generation has been stunted because responsible people have continued to indulge them.
Actions, and inactions, have consequences. When faced with a tough moral choice, I chose silence. Consequently, I was helpless when a cause I supported upended an institution I held so dear. I won’t make that mistake again.
If you have any love for virtue, character, responsibility, or achievement read this book and spread it widely. If only a handful students at Evergreen had received this inoculation, they could have "flattened the curve" of infection and saved thousands, if not millions of innocent minds.

An essential book for modern times
I am (to my shame) one of those cowards (from the U.K.) who watches from the sidelines as the pillars of reason fall at the hands of SJWs on social media. I wish I had the time and energy of Dr Saad to fight the good fight, and I don’t mean that dismissively. If I was to add a ‘but’ it would be this.. I home educate my kids, we travel (a lot) and openly discuss wokeness, virtue signalling, and victimhood mentality, so when they go into the world they will at least have the emotional fortitude to deal with whatever these crazy times bequeathes to future generations. Keep up the good work Dr Saad, you are definitely added to my Christmas card list after this excellent book ;)

Carpet bombing.
Trump should end his tenure in the White House by ordering a carpetbombing of every university in the US with this look.

A refreshing and honest perspective on why is wrong in the West
This should be required reading by anyone who is about to start University, so they can recognise the nonsense before professors lobotomise them.

Excellent
It's sad that in this day and age, someone had to write a book like this to remind people that truth matters, and that the human condition isn't conducive to a woke utopia. Aside from done well articulated scientific concepts, the book is largely a description of what common sense looks like. Essential reading, especially for those who would be triggered or require a safe space.

Solid, could have been stronger
Sharp commentary but the book was at its best when it was basing arguments in scientific facts - it did this heavily through the latter chapters. Parasitic Mind should be read as a sequel to The Coddling of the American Mind- it is a more brutal, less explanatory assessment of the issue.

Potentially valuable but could be more rigorous
Promised a taxonomy of infectious ideas but was mostly just social commentary. Despite this it may be useful for readers unfamiliar with the pernicious effects of social justice ideology, and provides a decent method for accumulating substantial evidence to refute false claims

Brilliant, but perhaps too late.
Very eloquent. Well written and narrator does a great job.
Perhaps too late to stop the mental decay of the West.

Great book
The clarity of it is astonishing! We, the people that agree hard work must be put in place, need to get back the common sense in our cultures. Thanks for your work!

Insightful and Terrifying
An excellent insightful listening session on Gad Saad's outlook on our modern educational industrial complex that produces the mediocre college student. A must read for all college students, the fight against political correctness must be waged on all front. Gad wants us all to speak out.

Pretty good
Is there a direct correlation between how smart someone is to how much of a wanker someone is? This book definitely makes me think so. Very thought provoking.

A necessary, fun and refreshing writing!
This book can be used as a proper manual to counteract the countless delusions and no-senses increasingly arising from the Radical Left. The elegant sentences and the concepts built by the author represent an actual weapon that could and should be used when confronted with the lunacy of some individuals that infest our everyday life. Really well done and thank you, I am looking forward for more!
