The Genius of Thomas Sowell

Gad Saad: Courage, Authenticity & Sowell


Listen Later

I met Dr. Gad Saad at the Stanford Academic Freedom conference last November.
See Episode #27.

Lo and behold, Gad Saad is a big fan of you-know-who!
Plus he has a lot in common with Sowell, as you will learn by listening to my interview with him today.

We talk about two of Gad Saad's books:

1) The Parasitic Mind (2020)
2) The Saad Truth about Happiness (new)

I discuss 4 themes of the James Bond character which I connect with both Sowell and Saad:
1) Saving the world
2) Love of country
3) Intense masculinity
4) Tragic hero

We talk about Courage and Authenticity, two vital ingredients for happiness.

I hope you will be both shaken and stirred by this discussion!
