Facing the Beast

Courage, Faith, and Resistance in a New Dark Age

De: Naomi Wolf

Narrado por: Carolyn White

From New York Times bestselling author Naomi Wolf, Facing the Beast is a devastating, detailed account of wrongthink, deplatforming, and an unexpected political, personal, and spiritual transformation that followed during one of the most divisive times in American history.

In this uncompromising investigation into today’s most urgent issues, Naomi Wolf uses her own wildly politicized pilgrimage—from New York Times bestselling author and high-level Democratic consultant to a journalist cast out from the elite political and social circles she once moved through—as a stunning narrative framework that is both chilling and incisive.

Wolf’s sin? Doing the job that good journalists once prided themselves on: asking questions, challenging authority, and, during one of the most politically divisive moments in modern history, exposing the many failures of the public health response during the COVID-19 pandemic by chronicling the dangerous descent of our democracy into tyranny, censorship, and totalitarianism.

Unable to remain silent in the shadows and unwilling to collude with the mainstream, Wolf bravely covers topics that few other writers dare to address critically for fear of being deplatformed. Facing the Beast explores reproductive rights, medical freedom, the uncurious thought-policing of the “progressive” left, the Second Amendment, the criminal relationship between the FDA and Pfizer—Wolf’s clear writing repeatedly shines light in the dark corners of our fractured society.

A decades-long champion of free speech, freedom of the press, and the Constitution, Wolf found herself not only in the midst of a political rebirth but a spiritual transformation as well—one in which the events of the day could only be described in terms of good, evil, and a metaphysical quest on the nature of reality.

For fans of Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, and Bari Weiss, Facing the Beast is a fearless indictment of legacy media and the political class, as well as a brutal reminder that searching for and defending the truth can be dangerous.

Insightful and interesting

So valuable to hear Naomi Wolf share her perspective on various issues before and after she was “canceled for doing what I have always done: asking questions.” Thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening!

The whole truth and nothing but the truth!

I give a lot of credit to people who tell the truth even when they have a lot at stake!

Naomi's story, Caroline's voice

I listened at 1.7X and felt like the narration couldn't have been better at capturing the nuances of the author's emotions committed to words.

Well researched and insightful

She brought out a lot of facts I was not aware if but the most fascinating part was following the author’s transition from proud coastal elite to a more normal human individual. She is still in her search for truth and it’s changed her along the way.

An Honest Look

I absolutely appreciated this book! It was an honest look at life during a crisis. Many people failed to truly look at what was happening during the pandemic. Naomi Wolfe presents an exceedingly brave commentary on her journey and the cultural, the steps and many missteps of a nation’s response - or its failure to respond. She shines a light in the darkness. A darkness where too many are still hiding in.

This is an amazing book on how we have been duped and deceived by those who are in charge.

Naomi Wolf has written a wonderful book on the deception of our leaders into conning us into thinking that the vaccine was a good thing. She has expose their lies and deceit, and I highly recommend this book.

The author articulates the mind virus of our time.

I heard this author's interview with Tucker Carlson and thought I'd take a chance. I'm so glad that I did. Not only was I validated but I also learned some statistics I wasn't previously aware of. Great read.

Fascinating look at events affecting us all

This is a brave book. Fascinating to understand a different take on what went on with COVID and the strange behavior/reactions we all had. I’m really thankful for the chapter that apologizes for what we went through at the hands of zealous bureaucrats. That apology was so well done. Wish other leaders could have that courage.

Eyes are opening!

Naomi is brilliant, and yet admits to being snowed by the lies of the left for decades. Her honest revelations give me hope for this world, though we have a long way to go.

A must read for all who appreciate the truth.

Naomi Wolf's Chronicle of her fall from "grace' at the center of American 'success' because she insisted on doing what she had always done to great acclaim, but which fell wide of the new, suppressed, censored main stream media line of 2020 to 2023, Raised hairs and hackles on the back of this good citizen's neck, Wolf Urges us citizens to stand up for what She refers to as 'before', to reject the new evil program. She does not hesitate to use the word "evil" and I celebrate her courage in doing so.
