Book Review

Actively Unwoke by Dr. Karlyn Borysenko

The subtitle for this book: The Ultimate Guide for Fighting Back Against the Woke Insanity in Your Life is true. This book is an excellent guide to help you fight back against the woke ideology that has infiltrated our culture and institutions today.

I first heard about Dr. Borysenko when she wrote the viral article, “After Attending a Trump Rally, I realized Democrats are Not Ready for 2020.” I’ve been a long-time subscriber to Blaze TV. I learned more about Dr. Borysenko when she was on the Glenn Beck Radio Show to discuss her article.

One important truth that I learned from watching her videos is that there are woke people on both the Left and the Right. Anyone coming from an authoritarian viewpoint is pushing their own type of woke agenda. That realization really resonated with me. It made me reevaluate who I am as a conservative.

She picked the perfect title for this book. It’s not enough just to be ‘unwoke’. You need to be actively unwoke if you want to make a difference in fighting back against the woke agenda. I love how she continues that theme with ‘actionable strategies’ that readers can implement in their own lives.

She also shares ways for self-care because embarking on this journey of fighting back against the woke can make you crazy. I’ve only dipped my toes into the water so far. My mind has…
