I met Dr. Gad Saad at the Stanford Academic Freedom conference last November.
See Episode #27.

Lo and behold, Gad Saad is a big fan of you-know-who!
Plus he has a lot in common with Sowell, as you will learn by listening to my interview with him today.

We talk about two of Gad Saad's books:
1) The Parasitic Mind (2020)
2) The Saad Truth about Happiness (new)

I discuss 4 themes of the James Bond character which I connect with both Sowell and Saad:
1) Saving the world
2) Love of country
3) Intense masculinity
4) Tragic hero

We talk about Courage and Authenticity, two vital ingredients for happiness.

Here are some useful links to enhance your enjoyment of the episode:
• The Danish National Symphony performs Dr. No.
• The Palm Springs Air Museum
• "No Time to Die" by Epic Orchestra

I hope you will be both shaken and stirred by this discussion!
