Book Review of The Joy of Hate: How to Triumph over Whiners in the Age of Phony Outrage

SGTBob avatar reviewed on + 156 more book reviews


Greg has a way of pointing out the obvious conclusion regarding Hate" and "Rage". He does his bet to explain why it is acceptable for one side to be "outraged" about any certain subject, while at the same time being "outraged" that ANYONE would have an opposing view on the same subject.
My favorite two chapters came towards the end of the book (Fat Kids Are The Biggest Targets and The Skeptic Tank). However, all chapter pinpoint towards the next in their explanation.
If you have never watched Greg in action, you need to do that before reading this book, it will give a clearer picture of where he is coming from in his conclusions.
He does have a tendency to go "off track" from time to time, but is generally the way he speaks all the time.
An enjoyable book, broken down in easy to read chapters. I read it a work, during my "down time", you can too!
