Americans are burned out, on edge, and nostalgic for the time before bullying progressives turned every aspect of our lives into a radical social cause. This book provides practical, woke-proof ways in which the silenced majority--which feels disoriented, if not overmatched--can finally stand up and restore America's values and culture. If you're emerging from the paralyzed slumber of the 24/7 doomsday news cycle, reflexive consumerism, and omnipresent identity politics, this book is for you.
In a single century, America has moved from a rural, agricultural, family-centered society to one that is urban, corporate, and hyper-individualistic. Yet, despite all our technology and material wealth, we're left with higher rates of depression and greater alienation than our parents' or grandparents' generations ever experienced.
We are awakening to the fact that we are up to our eyeballs in labels, pronouns, microaggressions, triggers, TikToks, and guilt trips. We have less free time, more debt, and more anxiety than ever before. We are being cowed, coerced, and canceled by tech giants, media conglomerates, and billion-dollar, multinational megacorps that are forcing us to support the progressive movements du jour. It's made us miserable, and we need a break.
But how? Where do we go, and how exactly do we get our lives and freedom back? In an invigorating and highly relatable style, Teresa Mull explains:
- The actual definition of woke (Brace yourself!)
- How to avoid "toxic empathy" -- approving immoral behavior so you'll be liked
- Six ways to be truly NORMAL (Non-woke Ordinary Rational Moral All-American Leaders)
- Six major woke weapons to beware of and how to disarm them
- Tips on growing in faith, educating children, and cultivating community
- Three tenets to focus on when you feel trapped in the maze of woke culture
In an upbeat way, you will discover that you don't need to become a survivalist prepper, live off-grid, or learn to tan beaver pelts. Somewhere between Amish buggy rides and Pride parades, there's a healthy, middle-ground approach to regaining the good old days and providing yourself and your family with a wholesome, nurturing, faith-enriching lifestyle and future.
Woke-Proof Your Life provides the blueprint that traditional-minded Americans are looking for to regain their peace of mind, health, and happiness and to reorient our country toward the bright future we envisioned before progressive radicals torpedoed our traditional culture with conflict, division, and confusion. Woke-Proof is brimming with simple, practical steps you can take to resist the pervasive, woke mob and reclaim your life with changes that will improve your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being -- all while benefiting the society and natural world we share.
Filled with inspiring, first-person narratives and expert advice from the saints and secular sources,
Woke-Proof Your Life makes winning the culture war as exciting and enjoyable as it is crucial to saving our civilization.
