About this listen
The New York Times bestseller.
From host of The Rubin Report, the most-watched talk show about free speech and big ideas on YouTube right now, a road map for free thinking in an increasingly censored world.
The left is no longer liberal.
Once on the side of free speech and tolerance, progressives now ban speakers from college campuses, 'cancel' people who aren't up to date on the latest genders and force religious people to violate their conscience. They have abandoned the battle of ideas and have begun fighting a battle of feelings. This uncomfortable truth has turned moderates and true liberals into the politically homeless class.
Dave Rubin launched his political talk show The Rubin Report in 2015 as a meeting ground for free thinkers who realise that partisan politics is a dead end. He hosts people he both agrees and disagrees with - including those who have been dismissed, deplatformed and despised - taking on the most controversial issues of our day. As a result, he's become a voice of reason in a time of madness.
Now, Rubin gives you the tools you need to think for yourself in an age when tribal outrage is the only available alternative. Based on his own story as well as his experiences from the front lines of the free speech wars, this audiobook will empower you to make up your own mind about what you believe on any issue and teach you the fine art of:
- Checking your facts, not your privilege: when it comes to today's most pervasive myths, from the wage gap to hate crimes.
- Standing up to the mob: against today's absurd PC culture, when differences of opinion can bring relationships, professional or personal, to a sudden end.
- Defending classically liberal principles: such as individual rights and limited government, because freedom is impossible without them.
The progressive woke machine is waging war against the last free thinkers in the world. Don't Burn This Book is the definitive account of our current political upheaval and your guide to surviving it.

A thoroughly thought provoking read.
One man's intellectual journey from regressive Leftist ideology into the calm, clear waters of free thinking. Told with honesty, clarity, and good humour. It isn't easy to reach escape velocity from the hive mind, but it can be done.

Funny and Inspiring
I'm a big fan of Dave's podcast and this book did not disappoint. It illustrates his journey from the cult of progressives to one of a classic Liberal. There's also some great tips to be found about living your best life. Highly recommended.

Good book for burgeoning free thinkers
Dave Rubin's new book focuses on his journey from a progressive activist, detailing his departure from that idealism and his embracing of classical liberalism.
He outlines the fundamental differences between the two and makes a great intro guide for those.. like me... who have come to the painful but brave realisation that the modern left, is no longer liberal.

A great book!
A good mix of personal and objective observations regarding the ever increasing levels of crazy we are all subjected to, and how to respond to them properly. Well read, frequently witty and self-deprecating, Dave Rubin does a great job of bringing his book to life and really reinforces the need for more of us to take a stand against the endless drivel which we are fed via social media and the mainstream press.
