Bad Faith

By: Mike Daisey

Narrated by: Mike Daisey

In his provocative new show, Bad Faith, celebrated solo artist Mike Daisey sinks his teeth into a harsh reality: Bad faith is becoming more rampant in today’s culture. From the president and our politics to climate and corporate rule, Daisey unpacks how bad faith - a twisted kind of deception - spreads, why people choose bad faith over goodwill, and how this growing epidemic impacts our lives. Using heartbreaking and darkly hilarious stories from his own life, Daisey wrestles with the big questions: How do we know we’re not part of the problem, and how do we make sure the worst people don’t come out on top?

Bad Faith was recorded live at the Minetta Lane Theatre for Audible listeners globally.

Good will versus Bad faith

I loved this intersection of the personal, political, and professional. The humor and insights play well of each other. Thought-provoking--you will think about it after it's over.

enjoyable.

thought provoking, humorous, insightful,
sad and heartwarming; i completely related to the devastation of going thru a divorce.
it was the most difficult experience i have ever gone thru..but i came out on the other side. how mike daisey describes his journey, was completely parallel. we are so
much more resilient than we give ourselves credit for. and he brought that back to my mind & spirit. which gives me continued courage and strength. thanks mike!! 🙏🏻

Amazing!

I highly recommend this to any one who has had any amount of anxiety because of our current political situation.

This is the monologue for our moment

A darkly comic meditation on the personal and political act of self gaslighting, how we deny reality to keep going in a most alarming and uncomfortable time. Funny and moving.

Interesting listen

I liked the author’s story. He told very personal stories about his marriage and divorce which had to be hard to share. I liked how he tied that in to the bad faith arguments in politics.

Thought provoking

Just what I needed in today’s topsy turby world. Hopefully a lot of people will get treated to this dose of heartfelt holistic medication. Thanks Ti the author.

Wonderful

I need to listen to this monologue on repeat and share with everyone I know.

there are a bunch of goofy chuds on here who didnt actually listen to it. These people are demented. Everything Mike does is great and this was awesome.

hysterical truths

I will actually listen to it again. it was relatable, truthful, funny yet serious

A moving personal perspective of life’s complexities.

To start with I honestly didn’t remember what this audiobook was supposed to be about. I downloaded it with a half dozen various audiobooks and I didn’t remember why.
But When I was driving on a couple hour trip back home, it was next in line on my list and it captured my attention but by bit. And by the time I realized it, I was completely enveloped in the story of this mans personal experience and I found it evoked a lot of emotions throughout. I was laughing out loud one minute, angry the next, then concerned and worried, then laughing, then amazed and curious. And by the end, I wept a tiny bit and felt hopeful about the future. Really I am glad to have had the opportunity to hear another humans struggle through life as a human being and all the complications, trials and tribulations that seem inherent to being alive.
This book help me see how everyone has their own personal battles to fight and even the people who seem like they have it all figured out from their outward appearances. When it comes down to it, they are just as vulnerable, just as flawed and just as fallible as the next person. And it is a beautiful and scary thing to be alive. I think I just enjoyed seeing the world through the authors eyes for awhile.
I don’t know what you will get out of this story, but I am glad I downloaded this and got absorbed. I wish I could hold onto the feeling I have at the end of the book. Because it feels so good to be on this journey of existence with the knowledge that I can grow and evolve the whole way through my life, even when everything seems like it will never be good again. To get through the worst moments and perhaps use the experience as a reason to reinvent yourself, and just maybe be all the better for having gone through it.
Thank you for sharing this with us, it is one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to this year!
