SANITY: IN a TIME of CONSPIRACY, UPHEAVAL, and PANDEMIC by Gary John Bishop


Published in July of 2021 by HarperAudio.

Read by the author, Gary John Bishop.
Duration: 1 hour, 34 minutes.
Unabridged.

Gary John Bishop is a life coach/motivational speaker from Scotland. He calls himself a Personal Development expert. 

His topics in Sanity: In a Time of Conspiracy, Upheaval, and Pandemic include how to deal with the pandemic, conspiracy theories that we may believe in and how to deal with conspiracy theories that loved ones may hold dear. He talks about mask mandates and the wildly varied response to them, especially in the United States. He also talks about how we hate the changes to our lives that were brought on by the pandemic, even if we weren't happy with our pre-pandemic lives because the human mind both craves change and loves stability and those are not compatible goals. 

The author, Gary John Bishop
He gives practical advice. For example, don't argue with advocates of conspiracy theories and welcome them back if they come back to reality because you've had your crazy moments yourself. He also advises people to keep up with the news but to be consumed by it and use it as an entertainment source (translation: don't watch Tucker Carlson or Rachel Maddow - they get paid to make you indignant and they're good at it)

There is nothing new about what Bishop talks about in his talk, but his presentation makes it really effective. It's direct, peppered with curse words and comes off just like you are sitting in a bar listening to your Scottish uncle give you some solid advice.

I rate this audiobook 4 stars out of 5. It can be found on Amazon.com here: SANITY: IN a TIME of CONSPIRACY, UPHEAVAL, and PANDEMIC by Gary John Bishop.
