One of many books capitalizing on the culture. I didn‘t know she was a comedian. A decent book. Nothing too new as far as ideas. But she does well supporting the notion that cancel culture and wokeness is curtailing speech, especially humor. We live on eggshells trying not to hurt feelings. Ultimately like many, I‘m exhausted.

64/150 In the cancel culture age we live in now, this book is very relevant. Humor is such a subjective thing, what makes some people laugh, offends other people. Who gets to decide what's funny and what's not? There are several popular comedians who I don't find funny at all, even a little offensive, but I'd fight for their right to speak. If humor isn't pushing boundaries, maybe sometimes in bad taste, maybe sometimes ⬇️⬇️⬇️

RamsFan1963 offensive to certain people, then it becomes tame, generic and worst of all, not funny. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 9mo

This was based on an article that the authors had previously written, so I was basically listening to an extended research paper. I would recommend passing on this one unless you are really into the first amendment and social trends. An issue with this one is timeliness, there have been so many more controversial events since it was published but I felt compelled to read/listen after a recommendation from our company CEO.
