About this listen

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.

Courage beautifully told

The author’s compelling transformation/journey and on the way the uncovering of unmitigated evil, but never losing sight of unwavering faith in the human project - not to be missed

An essential read

Does anyone else feel as though they took off their glasses and suddenly became able to see? As someone who's worked for the NHS for over a decade, the COVID period opened my eyes to so many things that I was unable to see before.
Big Pharma, Big Food, and the totalitarian take over of the west.
The battle between good and evil is real.

I had to stop listening....

I really got something from the Beauty Myth and I can feel the dreadful pain the author has been through being cancelled in the way she was.... but as someone who has been vaccine damaged and has been severely affected by viruses in the past I find it difficult to listen to the lockdowns etc being described in such a brutally negative way. Most countries in the world shut down for a time. I agree with all her concerns about the vaccine and appreciate this but otherwise I found the minimization of the effects of the virus itself too difficult to listen to.
