D. Nerhaugen—
Why do
Americans so
often send
imbeciles
and
gangsters to
the
republic's
highest
elective
offices?
Altemeyer's
research and
findings
provide
highly
credible
explanations.
Since there
are already
plenty of
sound
synopses of
Altemeyer's
work on
these web
pages, I see
no need to
add another.
But I will
say this:
"Must reads"
seldom are.
This one is.
Buy it, read
it (or
listen to
it) and pass
it on. To
say that
Altemeyer's
work demands
a MUCH wider
audience is
quite the
understatement.
Edward
Flaspoehler—
I just
finished
Robert
Altemeyers
book, The
Authoritarians.
I read is as
quickly as I
could, in
two days,
and was
fascinated
the entire
time. I am
now
recommending
it to
everyone I
know.
The other
review on
this page
gets the
gist of the
book
correct, so
I will not
go into
that. I will
just say
that, now
that I have
finished the
book, as I
always do, I
am looking
for the
negative
reviews. I
CANNOT FIND
ANY!
Read it!.
Ray,
Morgan Utah—
This
turned out
to be one of
my favorite
Audible
books so far
along with
The
Drunkards
Walk. How
Randomness
Rules our
Lives. I
think it's
actually an
important
book that's
been flying
below the
radar
because it
wasn't
commercially
published.
At least not
at first, it
may be now.
Liberals,
moderates,
and
conservatives
alike,
really need
to read it.
When you've
finished
you'll
better
understand
not just
Nazi
Germany, but
the IRA in
Ireland, the
Cultural
Revolution
under Mao,
the war in
Yugoslavia
under
Karadzic and
even Pat
Robertson.
Explaining
Pat
Robertson is
no small
accomplishment
but the
authors
index is the
best
explanation
yet of
radical
Muslims as
well. Have
you ever
wondered why
there seems
to be an
endless
supply of
people
willing to
blow
themselves
up? Well
that's
because
there is an
endless
supply and
this book
explains why
that is.
It all
revolves
around a way
of thinking
called the
RWA index.
RWA stands
for Right
Wing
Authoritarian.
An
unfortunate
title since
it doesn't
help his
credibility
with
conservatives
and
conservatives
need to read
this as much
as anyone.
He chose
this title I
assume
because in
the US and
Canada these
people tend
to gravitate
to the
political
right more
than the
left but
they're
found on the
left as
well. A
better title
might have
been the
Muddle
Headed
Followers
index.
The index
itself is
politically
neutral.
Everyone
knows a few
of these of
people.
They're the
ones in the
office who
don't reason
from fact to
opinion.
Instead,
they choose
an opinion
that fits
the way they
want the
world to be,
then select
facts that
support
them. I
personally
know so many
of these
people I've
begun to
think that
reasoning
from fact to
opinion must
be something
rare and
difficult
and maybe
should be
taught as a
mandatory
part of a
civics
class. It
doesn't seem
to come
naturally in
my area. But
then look at
where I'm
from.
Mary B.
Weathers—
I am on my
second
"listen" of
this book
through
Audible. As
a
psychologist
myself, I
want data to
go with
opinions.
This book
has data in
spades. This
is his first
popular book
on the topic
of
authoritarianism,
following
research
that goes
back four
decades in
the US and
Canada, as
well as
collaboration
with
research in
Russia. It
explains in
clear
language,
how the
right wing
authoritarian
followers
think, how
they act,
and how they
are so
gullible to
being led by
social
dominators.
While he
does make
political
statements,
these
statements
are backed
up by a
wealth of
research.
Any
progressive
who reads
this and has
watched what
has happened
to the US,
will
understand
why we are
so
exasperated
with
seemingly
intelligent
people who
seem so
illogical,
irrational,
hypocritical,
and
dogmatic.
They are
often of
fundamental
religious
persuasion.
These people
will follow
their
socially
dominant
leaders
aggressive
and
sometimes
violent acts
without
question.
The socially
dominant
leaders whom
they follow
are truly
frightening
as they
often
masquerade
as "one of
them", but
are actually
without
conscience
and totally
consumed by
hunger for
power. I
would call
this, for
me, as
enlightening
as any book
I have read
in a decade.
Emil,
Denmark—
A must read
for
everyone.
While Bob
Altemeyer's
personal
political
stance is
occasionally
discernable
from his
analysis of
data, and
his
investigation
of the
subject is
quite
America-centric,
Altemeyer
provides us
with a
paradigm of
surprising
explanatory
and even
predictive
power.
If you are
interested
in politics
or
psychology,
I highly
recommend
this book.
If you wind
up taking
offense at
its
presentation
of
scientific
data,
perhaps you
need this
book more
than anyone.
Authoritarianism
is a
potential
danger to
all of us,
even on the
individual
level, and
if you find
you dislike
hearing
about it,
it's a sure
sign you
need to
listen more
closely.
James
Jensen—
There are a
number of
people who
will be
offended by
this book
and dismiss
it as a
propaganda -
most without
even reading
it. That is
precisely
what Bob
Altemeyer's
work
predicts.
In this
book,
Altemeyer
presents his
lifetime of
research
into what is
known as
Right-Wing
Authoritarianism
(RWA). If
that terms
does not
scare you
off
immediately,
you'll find
in this book
that (1) it
isn't as
politically-charged
as it sounds
(Stalinists
were high-RWA
left-wingers),
and that (2)
the evidence
for this
personality
disorder is
overwhelming.
Simply put,
the modern
right-wing
has become
the
political
home for
nearly all
of the more
than
one-quarter
of the
population
who support
established
traditions
zealously
and
uncritically.
This has
given an
audience to
the corrupt
politicians
of the "New
Right" who
can be sure
of support
simply
through
saying what
their
followers
want to
hear.
Perhaps most
shocking is
that the
percentage
of the
population
who score
highly on
the RWA
scale is
only a few
points short
of the
percentage
which still
support the
Iraq war and
who
continued to
support
Nixon during
Watergate.
Altemeyer
concludes
that, due to
the very
nature of
right-wing
authoritarianism,
there is
simply no
easy
solution.
The best
approach is
to offer a
hand of
friendship,
to offer to
work
together on
shared goals
in hopes of
broadening
the
authoritarians'
perspective.
The
Authoritarians
is a
must-read
book for
liberals,
moderates,
and
conservatives
alike who
are troubled
by the
extremism
and
corruption
of modern
neoconservatives.
Paul Sunstone—
Last week, Erik left a
comment on this blog
with a link to a free
online book,
The Authoritarians,
by the research
psychologist and
professor, Bob Altemeyer.
Erik is a bright guy, so
I was confident I would
not be wasting my time
to check out the link.
Now that I have checked
out the link, I feel
like naming my next born
illegitimate child after
Erik. I got so wrapped
up in the book, I read
it in one sitting.
The book describes the
psychology of
authoritarian followers
and leaders. It does so
in clear and easy to
read prose. Bob
Altemeyer has a
wonderful sense of humor
and he laces his book
with witty and funny
comments. But the core
of the book is comprised
of the scientific
studies of
authoritarianism that
Altemeyer has been doing
since 1966. This is a
hugely informative book
that makes sense of a
whole lot of stuff
that’s going on in
America and the world
today.
Altemeyer will change
how you view militant
authoritarianism
forever. For one thing,
he demonstrates that it
is not merely a
political problem but
profoundly a
psychological problem.
Consequently, there are
no politics that will
make it entirely go
away. Instead, it must
be repeatedly confronted
and defeated in every
generation — if
representative democracy
is to be preserved.
I recommend that
everyone — and that
means everyone and
his or her dog — read
the book’s introduction
(at the very least).
You can then decide for
yourself whether you
want to go on to read
the rest of the book.
But please give yourself
the opportunity to make
that decision by reading
the introduction (The
introduction begins six
pdf pages down — you can
skip the dedication,
which comes first). If
you read the book and do
not then fervently wish
to name your next
illegitimate child after
Erik — who, after all,
gave us the heads-up on
this book — I will be
absolutely astonished.
And so will your child.
Last, please consider
passing this book
around. It’s free and
accessible to anyone who
can read it online.
Larry Ogg—
As you may recall,
Ponerology shined a
great deal of light on
and mainly concentrated
on the psychopaths who
gain political power,
revealing their cunning
methods of deceit, their
cold hearts void of
conscience and their
uncanny ability too
manipulate information
and the minds of social
conscience in mass,
which in turn leads too
the massive death and
destruction (as history
shows) of entire
civilizations, a history
that any sane person
might hope of not
repeating, but fears the
inevitable is close at
hand. Additionally, as
essential as Ponerology
is to understanding the
minds and methods of a
psychopaths, I don’t
feel that it covered, in
great depth, the minds
of those who do or don’t
fall under their spell;
the book called the “The
Authoritarians” on the
other hand, does just
that.
I finished reading it
about three days ago and
I know you will love it
and give it a great
review. It is extremely
simple to read and
understand, and is the
results of psychological
surveys and experiments
done on thousands of
people over the years
since world war II, the
hope being, an
understanding of how and
why so many people fall
under the spell and
follow tyrannical
leaders.
To
have an in-depth
understanding of what
Bob Altemeyer calls the
authoritarian leaders,
we would read Ponerology.
To have an in-depth
understanding of those
who fall under the spell
and support such
leaders, we would read
the “The
Authoritarians”. I hope
you enjoy it and thanks
for another great OP.
Brian Wagner—
I
didn't actually listen
to the cd but I read the
book so I'll repeat my
review here.
It's really unfortunate
that this book never
made the mainstream. It
may be party because
it's available free
[...]
Altemeyer's 'The
Authoritarians' is a
compilation of years of
research he's done on a
personality type he
identified and labeled
"Right Wing
Authoritarian." This
label does not imply
that all authoritarians
are right wing. There
can be left wing
authoritarians but we
simply don't see them in
the US and Canada for
his research was mostly
done.
Though the webpage has
some political diatribe
it is mostly absent from
the book which explores
the various beliefs of
RWAs. RWAs include very
few in their 'in' group
and vilify their 'out'
group. They have many
hypocrisy's which they
don't notice due to
their highly
compartmentalized
thinking. They respect
might over reason and
are willing to do
terrible things under
the direction of a
proper authority,
especially if the person
on the receiving end is
some sort of outsider.
Their fear of the world
and change fuels their
aggression. Worst of
all, they control a
large portion of our
government.
While Right Wing
Authoritarians can be
considered dangerous
fools, Social Dominators
(also discussed in the
book) could arguably be
considered evil. They
view people as tools to
be used for their own
benefit, are
uninterested in helping
others unless they will
receive more in return
and delight in using
RWAs for their own
purposes.
While the RWA
personality corresponds
very highly with
fundamentalist religion,
it is distinct. Anyone
who's read Sam Harris'
'Letter to a Christian
Nation' or 'The End of
Faith' should give this
a read. After reading
this I believe that
while religion may focus
people to maladaptive
ends, this book really
gets at the root of the
problem.
Jp Christy—
I'm on my second listen
of this book. I value
the insights and the
science behind them.
Professor Altemeyer's
relaxed reading of his
own material makes this
information an enjoyable
listen. More
importantly, his
explanation of the
difference between a
conservative outlook and
an authoritarian
personality has enabled
me to understand how a
vocal, fearful minority
can shout down the civil
discussions and nuanced
outlook of a less
fearful, less forceful
majority.
I have been recommending
this book to liberals
and conservatives alike.
Well done!
Miller—
Way back, Blake
Stacey recommended
to me The
Authoritarians, by
Bob Altemeyer. It is
a free online book
about the psychology
of the authoritarian
personality. I get
the impression that
Blake Stacey is in
the habit of
recommending this
book to everyone.
Allow me to echo
this recommendation
to you, my readers.
It is a short, easy,
and fun read. Bob is
rather casual can
chatty. He never
gets bogged down
with numbers, and
yet he is clear
about how all his
conclusions are
supported by
scientific data. And
did I mention it's
available free?
The Authoritarians
is one of those
books that tries to
answer the question,
"What the hell is
wrong with people?"
The Bush
administration, the
religious right, the
Creationist
movements...
Personally, I'm a
moderate, an
independent, but I
won't touch the
Republican party
because it has gone
to hell. Bob
Altemeyer, I suspect
is in the same
position. But while
I might advance few
pet theories as to
why this is, all I
have to defend them
is my super-humble
rhetoric.
Altemeyer's claims
are not pet
theories, but
scientific findings.
They could easily
have been falsified,
but instead they are
strongly supported
by a variety of
surveys and studies.
His explanation?
There is a certain
kind of personality
that is
well-correlated with
all these problems.
Altemeyer calls it
Right-Wing
Authoritarianism (RWA).
First, I should
clarify a few
things.
Authoritarianism
does not refer to
the authorities
themselves, but the
people who would
obey those
authorities. Also,
"right-wing" is used
in the sense of
being lawful or
proper, not in the
sense of being
political
conservative. RWAs
in the US tend to be
very politically
conservative, but
those in soviet
Russia would
probably be
socialists. (There
is also such a thing
as Left-Wing
Authoritarianism but
that is not covered
by the book.)
Right-Wing
Authoritarians
exhibit the
following qualities:
submission to the
established
authorities in
society, aggression
in the name of these
authorities, and
wanting to enforce
conventionalism on
the rest of society.
Now, if you're like
me, you're skeptical
of the efficacy of
any such survey. But
it turns out that
there is a very
rigorous way to
create a valid
survey that involves
testing many
possible questions
and measuring their
correlations. He
briefly mentioned a
similar survey
developed in the
1940s that was
discredited because
of its poor design.
The new one is
scientifically
tested. You might
ask, "How do we know
that this is all
related to
authoritarianism as
opposed to religious
fundamentalism?" We
know because the RWA
scale correlates
with the above
qualities better
than any
fundamentalist scale
does. Altemeyer
deserves lots of
skeptical points for
carefully explaining
all this.
The most interesting
part might be where
Altemeyer suggests
solutions to the
problem. According
to him, it would
probably be
ineffective to argue
with these people
directly. Instead,
we should work with
high RWAs them
towards common
goals, since lets
them see outside of
their
community--high RWAs
tend to feel a lot
of pressure to be
"normal", so we just
need to show them.
We should increase
the visibility
minorities. And we
should promote
higher education,
which tends to
decrease people's
RWA scores. He also
says it would help
if we reduced
fear-mongering, or
if we taught kids to
question
authorities, but he
doesn't think either
of these things will
realistically
happen.
Aside from critical
thinking, one of the
major topics of
skepticism is
understanding why
people think the way
they do. By that
standard, this is a
great book for
skeptics. It gives
plenty of insight
into RWAs and what
makes them tick.
Mathboy—
The Authoritarians
is one of the half a
dozen or so books
you'll read in your
life that actually
will change your
life. The book is
authored by a
researcher from the
University of
Manitoba named Bob
Altemeyer who has
spent 40 years
investigating the
question of who,
why, and how people
become what he terms
"right wing
authoritarians"
which is not to
imply that only
right wingers are
authoritarians, BTW.
I read the
Authoritarians and I
can tell you it
explains a lot. It
explains who and
what Rush Limbaugh
is, how he operates,
why he lies and why
it doesn't bother
him. Ditto Ann
Coulter, Roger Ailes
and the whole Fox
News crew and why
they don't see
themselves as
everyone else
(except other RWAs)
sees them. It
explains what the
relationship between
the kind of people
who are in "The
Family: The Secret
Fundamentalism at
the Heart of
American Power" -
and the people who
empower them by
voting for them and
why they're always
dangerous.
It also explains
what we're seeing
right now for
instance in the 23rd
Congressional race
in Upstate N.Y. for
anyone who is
following that saga.
(RWAs can't stand
anyone who doesn't
exactly adhere to
their ideology)
Perfect examples of
RWAs are the
Fundamentalists /
Evangelical
Christians, Ann
Coulter, Rush
Limbaugh, Dick
Cheney but also
probably a lot of
people you have to
deal with on a
regular basis, for
instance your
father-in-law or
your neighbor.
Understanding what
makes these people
tick, what they'll
likely to do (or try
to do) and why
they're impervious
to reasoned argument
or contradictory
evidence changed my
view of the world;
how many books can
you say that about?
Precious few.
This book deserves
to be very widely
disseminated and
it's lessons learned
by all engaged,
rational people
because the people
this books exposes
aren't going away,
aren't going to
start playing fair
and to the extent
they actually get
into power, wreak
havoc up to and
including end of the
world scenarios. A
perfect example of
the later is WWII
where the
authoritarian
followers of Hitler
(sorry for the
Hitler comparison
but actually it's
EXACTLY correct in
this context- most
of these researchers
- Altemeyer, Milgram
et. al. started
studying their topic
as a reaction to the
"how could it
happen" question
about 1932 Germany)
catapulted Hitler
into power and then
supported everything
he did, all the
while identifying
"enemies" and
"impure" races as
the enemy to be
exterminated.
His work is a kind
of continuation of
Stanley Milgram's
famous work in the
area of obedience to
authority, which I
also recommend:
Obedience to
Authority: An
Experimental View
(Perennial
Classics).
I think you'll find
this book "explains
a lot." Many
scattered
impressions about
the enemies of
freedom and equality
become solidified by
science and
coherently connected
here.
You can get the
audio book which is
a great listen while
you're driving or
walking the dog and
is read by the
researcher himself-
I own it and love
it.
Telling other people
about this book
should be counted as
a public service to
society.

Foreword by John W. Dean
Former Nixon White House counsel and New York Times best-selling author
I am
really pleased that Bob Altemeyer invited me to provide a brief
foreword to the audio edition of his remarkable and timely book –
The Authoritarians. It is timely because of the election of Barack
Obama to be President of the United States. An election in which
Obama defeated a poster boy and poster girl for authoritarianism:
Arizonian Republican Senator John McCain, who sought the presidency
with Alaska Republican Governor Sarah Palin as his vice presidential
running mate. When you listen to the material that follows you will
understand why they both are authoritarians, and what that could
have meant for the country had they been elected. Their negative
and nasty campaign was a usual bag of unpleasant authoritarian
tactics and tricks.
Barack
Obama and his running mate Senator Joe Biden soundly defeated not
only the authoritarianism of McCain and Palin, but also that of
President George Bush and his partner Vice President Dick Cheney.
Allow me to be blunt about Bush and Cheney. Without hesitation I can
tell you – and indeed I have written about it in my books [Worse
Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush and Broken
Government: How Republican Rule Destroyed the Legislative, Executive
and Judicial Branches] – that eight years of authoritarian rule by
Bush and Cheney has nearly ruined the United States.
For
example, they used false evidence and lies to take the United States
to war in Iraq, they shamed all Americans with their efforts to deal
with terrorism by creating our first gulag at Guantanamo, not to
mention secret prisons scattered around the world, and the use of
renditions and torture to deal with anyone they declared to be an
enemy combatant. To top off their disastrous rule they have
shattered the world’s economy because of their failure to regulate
America’s financial markets. Unfortunately, these are only a few of
the glaring consequences of their authoritarian rule, but they make
the point.
Still, you
might ask, if Obama has defeated this type of authoritarian rule by
winning over McCain and Palin, why should anyone be concerned? As
you will learn in the material that follows, authoritarians do not
go away when they are defeated, they do not hear the massage that
voters sent them, rather they merely regroup, redouble their effort,
and go at it again because they are convinced of the correctness of
their self righteous and dogmatic beliefs. As Bob Altemeyer once
told me, authoritarians are like Energizer Bunnies and they never
give up or run out of energy.
Although
the Republican Party has been decimated by the Obama victory, and
the polling data shows American have overwhelmingly rejected their
thinking, the authoritarian conservative ideology that binds the
core of the Republican Party together is busy preparing its come
back, likely by becoming even more authoritarian. In truth, no one
needs to listen to the material that follows more than Republicans,
for if they better understood the nature of authoritarianism, they
might think twice before allowing those who are the bell ringers
when tested for authoritarian traits from again becoming the driving
force of their party and politics. But as you will further learn,
this is not the way the authoritarians will likely see it, for they
are not very good at self-analysis.
Regardless, the only way to deal with the authoritarians is to
understand them and their nature, how they think and act, and why
they do so. That is what you will discover from this audio book.
And in the event you are an authoritarian yourself, I can assure you
that Dr. Bob, as he became known by his students, is not out to
trash you, rather he understands you, for he is a social scientist,
a psychologist, who is most interested in understanding people based
on sold evidence about the way people think and act and then
describing it. In short, this book is not pejorative; rather it is
explanatory. This book is not a political tract, although it deals
with political matters, nor is it a polemic. Rather this book is
synthesis of decades of research and empirical study. It is about
the way the world is, and the way some people are.
By
training, I am an attorney and not a social scientist. I discovered
Bob Altemeyer’s work when researching a book about what had happened
to conservatives – a book I had planned to write with the late
Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona, the man who launched the
conservative movement but had witnessed it evolve in ways he felt
were anything but good conservatism. Senator Goldwater disagreed
when conservatives began embracing and pushing policies to abolish
abortion or calling for school prayer, and demanding that so-called
family values were the most important issues facing the nation, for
he knew that matters like the economy and national security were far
more important. Goldwater was offended when conservatives embraced
attitudes of incivility and tactics to literally destroy political
opponents as their standard operating procedures. And he felt the
religious right, which was responsible for these changes in the
conservative outlook and behavior, had corrupted conservatism and
the Republican Party. For this reason he wanted to understand how
and why this had happened, why these people act as they do, and
together we set out to find the answers and write a book we would
call Conservatives Without Conscience, that title being a play on
his 1960 classic The Conscience of a Conservative, which had
launched the modern conservative movement.
Unfortunately, Senator Goldwater passed away before we found the
answers, which I discovered in the decades of research work by Bob
Altemeyer and others. When I found this work I immediately
recognized its value, for it explained these people, not to mention
many of my former colleagues at the Nixon White House, from the
president to other key members of his staff, as well as those I knew
who would later take command of the contemporary Republican Party.
But when I
first found Altemeyer’s work it was not in an easily digestible form
like that found in this audio book; rather it resided in countless
academic monographs and books written for other social and political
psychologists, his professional peers and graduate students studying
the social sciences. This material was loaded with the technical
jargon that is the norm for such academic writing, not to mention
laced with statistical analysis supporting his findings. Frankly,
this material was over may head, but because I sensed it might help
me understand conservatism, I ordered a dictionary of technical
psychological terms and to refresh my knowledge of statistics –
which I had not dealt with since graduate school forty some years
earlier and had long forgotten – I ordered the Idiots Guide to
Statistics and dove in and plowed my way through.
After
making my way across this foreign terrain, I realized I had found
real answers which I had not known existed because this information
had never been presented for the general reader. Altemeyer’s
research was startlingly revealing. It explained why so many
conservative Republicans (and a few very conservative Democrats) act
as they do. When I examined whether I could trust this material, I
discovered not only was Bob Altemeyer’s work verified by other
studies, but his professional peers considered him a leader in this
field of research. They had even awarded him the equivalent of an
academy award for his work. The American Academy for the
Advancement of Science had awarded him its highly prestigious prize
for behavioral science research. No higher accolade exists among
social scientists. So I knew not only did I have answers but they
were based on solid science.
After
getting my head around this work, and to be certain I understood it
well enough to explain it to others – since the material for the
general reader that you are about to listen to did not exist – I
tracked Altemeyer down at the University of Manitoba, and sent him
an email to ask if he would answer a few questions. He graciously
replied and we began a correspondence that would last to this day.
Not only did he guide me through his scientific studies to help me
translate it into layman’s terms, but he thoughtfully read my
manuscript as it related to his material, which assured me that I
had correctly understood and translated his work. It was about this
time that I also began nudging Dr. Bob to write about his findings
for the general reader, and before I knew it, he had done just
that. When I published a paperback edition of Conservatives Without
Conscience in 2007, I was able to send readers to his online edition
of his book, The Authoritarians, which he has written for general
readers and you are about to listen to. When I last checked over
100,000 people had visited his website where he first published The
Authoritarians. You can find it with a simple Google search.
For all
these reasons I am delighted this book is now in audio so it can
reach even more people. Should anyone doubt the importance of Dr.
Bob’s findings, allow me to share what he told me as I was
concluding Conservatives Without Conscience. I quoted him as
follows on the last page of that book:
"Probably
about 20 to 25 percent of the adult American population is so
right-wing authoritarian, so scared, so self-righteous, so
ill-informed, and so dogmatic that nothing you can say or do will
change their minds," Altemeyer told me. He added, "They would march
America into a dictatorship and probably feel that things had
improved as a result. The problem is that these authoritarian
followers are much more active than the rest of the country. They
have the mentality of 'old-time religion' on a crusade, and they
generously give money, time and effort to the cause. They
proselytize; they lick stamps; they put pressure on loved ones; and
they revel in being loyal to a cohesive group of like thinkers. And
they are so submissive to their leaders that they will believe and
do virtually anything they are told. They are not going to let up
and they are not going to go away.”
Now listen
to Dr. Bob as he shares a lifetime of study and explains why he has
reached these troubling conclusions, which are not based on hunches
or partisan feelings, rather on empirical evidence he developed over
many decades of testing thousands upon thousands of people
throughout the world.
