Sanity: In a Time of Conspiracy, Upheaval, and Pandemic
We could all use a little
Sanity
right now.
What a time we've been living through. 2020, and now 2021, have thrown us a curveball in the form of a global pandemic, and it seems like we're all going a little nutty right now, doesn't it? Perhaps you've noticed feeling a little more on edge, in general and with each other, or feeling angry, resentful, fearful or just plain unsettled.
Gary John Bishop's newest audio original takes on three hot-button topics that seem to be flooding the media headlines, our social media newsfeeds and our conversations with friends and conspiracy, upheaval and pandemic. In this timely and important book, Gary shines the light on each topic to provide new ways of understanding how they might be operating in our lives, and how we can take control.
This is about getting you to a place of sanity, a place where you're no longer gripped or triggered when the latest conspiracy theory flits across your screen, or the world seems to be turning upside down and you can't do a thing to change it. Instead, you can put yourself in a place where you are functional and powerful, and navigating these testing times and coming out the other side with a little more peace.
PLEASE When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Gary John Bishop gives some to the point advice to everyone who feels overwhelmed by the times we’re in during this pandemic. If you’ve read other books by the author, a lot of it will sound familiar: step away from all the negativity, stop feeling sorry for yourself, don’t blow everything up in your mind and stay focused on the future you want to create. I feel that the book sometimes misses a sense of direction and would have been stronger if it had included more examples and anecdotes in addition to the collection of general thoughts. It is still a good reminder of Gary’s no nonsense, positive approach in times where people could use this attitude more than ever.

A Review of the Audiobook
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 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.
He gives practical advice. For example, don't argue with advocates of conspiracy theories and welcome them back if they come back to reailty 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.

A great listen to get some grounding in these uncertain, crazy times. Gary, as usual, cuts through the BS with simple language, humor, and certain steps.
January 8, 2022
These recent books Gary has written or recording are becoming much repetitive. Go for the first 2 books and it's done.
This audio clearly comes for the fact he had enough free time due to pandemic and made a more or less motivational audiobook. Not worth your time as a listener.

Straightforward. 100% accurate. Get out of your head. Recognize people as human beings.

Self awareness and empathy are requisite for moving forward.
