How To Be Right ... in a world gone wrong
Reviews

Given the subject matter, which is being on the right side of history, this is a surprisingly easy read. Therein lies O’Brien’s brilliance, managing to update aging blokes’ ideological library in a logical yet compassionate manner. There’s a bit of tonic against our divided world in here, mostly found in the author’s kind and nonjudgemental (for the most part) attitude.

This is a really interesting book, although it zig-zags a little bit between wanting to be a book on current society and the political issues that split it, and a practical textbook on rhetoric. It's short, so it's very easy to read, but I'd like to see another one where the author goes into more detail not just on different issues that spread the liberal-conservative divide (Trump, feminism, Brexit, etc.), but more into what links them and why we have the rift in the first place (and how we close it).
