Dr. Phil discussed the importance of solving problems rather than winning arguments, and his concerns about current social issues, which led him to write the book.
I think it's insanity and we're the sane ones.
I think a lot of what's being pushed right now in the narrative is has nothing to support it, nothing to back it up.
We're making up new words. We're making up new history. We're rewriting classics. We're teaching kids the way the world doesn't work.
I'm really tired of a bunch of right fighters trying to win an argument instead of sitting down and trying to solve problems.
We need to start solving problems instead of winning arguments.

The book discusses risk-taking in poker and sports betting, as well as other areas such as technology and crypto. It argues that people often sell themselves short and don't take enough risks early in their careers.
He's got a new book, "On the Edge," the art of risking everything.
And I think that's one of the lessons of this book.
And there's discussion in the book about performance under pressure, most of the context of poker. But also I talked to like an astronaut and like an ex-NFL player, people like that.
I talked to like 200 people for this book and they're friendly interviews. They're not usually hostile, but most people can't stand silence and most people can't help but like share their story.

Cancel Culture Undermines Trust and Threatens Us All―But There Is a Solution
The book discusses the downfall of prestigious institutions, the shrinking of free speech, and the ways we try to win arguments without convincing anyone, often by scaring them into silence. It also touches on the issue of trust in experts.

The book discusses the downfall of prestigious institutions, the shrinking of free speech, and the ways we try to win arguments without convincing anyone, often by scaring them into silence. It also touches on the issue of trust in experts.
The Canceling of the American Mind is more or less just explaining all the different ways we try to win arguments without actually convincing anybody and partially by scaring the hell out of them that they'll lose their job or that they'll otherwise have their lives ruined if they say something that kind of mildly pisses off some people in our, forgive the expression, ruling class and the groups that are willing to stand up to that and not actually be told what they can say are being treated as if we're all pariahs.
It's backfiring in a real way right about now and it's happening at some pace that it didn't happen in the past. They've sped up the whole process of their backfiring process, meaning stuff used to take a while to work or not work.
They always go way too far. They did it with COVID. They did it with all things COVID. COVID will be the thing that undid them. They took all their shit. They dumped it all into COVID.
And there's a whole chapter on this and canceling the American mind, because one of the things we talk about is how cancel culture destroys trust and expert.
It's even worse for the credibility of experts because now that Scientific American is trying to make the argument that, oh, biological sex exists on the spectrum, nobody believes them because when they realize that anybody who has a contrary opinion is going to get canceled, they're not going to trust you to be objective.

Right after the Bin Laden raid, it was still fresh in my head and I wasn't sure how to - I don't know how you absorb that. And I got a book. Monument. American Sniper just come out and I got a book sent to me and I - and someone told me it was autographed.
And I remember thinking, why would I want an autographed book from another SEAL? And I opened it on the first page. It said, great shot, Chris Kyle. And I was like, well, there's the coolest thing I own. That's pretty neat. So I still have that.

I would say Lone Survivor because my initial thought there was if you want to know what a gunfight in the mountains of Afghanistan looks like, that would be it. And what it feels like to have something shoot past you or slam next to you and just be like, where did that come from?
My only complaint about Lone Survivor was the mountains weren't steep enough.

I think that's a great question about his career.
I've been in this market, covering sports for 37 years in New York, and they haven't, I always say this, Jets fans hate it.
I don't know if I would bet the ranch on hoax but I would bet three mortgage payments on hoax.
And I think he's pretty thoughtful and he's interesting. And I agree with him on a lot of the COVID stuff and all that, but I think he may be going deeper and further into it than we thought.
I'll hang between the first and the second one, but I feel like Aaron's maybe going third strata on a lot of these theories.
