About this episode
What does it mean to be 'woke'? Ryan Rogers is a therapist and author of the book "The Woke Mind: The Twisted Psychology of the Social Justice Movement.' In our conversation we discuss what it means to be 'woke', is it just a trendy phrase, a slur, or a genuine state of awareness? Is it even truly a left/right issue or more a personality type?
We discuss his book, his experiences of battling with addiction, how he learned activism more than therapy in his training, and his journey towards pragmatism.
Looking into the psychology of covert narcissism in individuals who want to tear down rather than build or look for problems rather than solutions, and referencing Orwell's 1984 where basic truths are questioned.
We explore the idea of being woke and what it means for our individual and collective consciousness.
