Am I Crazy?: An Unapologetic Patriot Takes on the Insanity of Today’s Woke World
"This book is classic Chad Prather, which is to say insightful, manly, funny--absolute must read!" -- Dinesh D'Souza
"In a time when we are constantly lectured by powerful elites, Chad Prather brings a much needed common sense sanity to the political landscape. I unapologetically endorse this patriot." -- Dave Rubin
Chad Prather -- "a modern-day Will Rogers" -- is just your friendly neighborhood cowboy philosopher, gazing into the sweet tea leaves at the bottom of his cowboy hat, pondering a most fundamental question: "Am I crazy? Or is the world crazy...?" Chad finds life amusing, baffling, sometimes heartwarming, and downright interesting, and wants to share personal stories and witty observations on the hasty growth of insanity within the folds of society, and inspire critical thinking about the state of our modern culture.
In this series of humorous essays -- reminiscent of the rants Chad is famous for doing from his truck in Texas -- Chad takes on all the problems he has with the modern age, and also talks about some of the problems that we have with each other. Problems with kids, problems with spouses, problems with our bosses at work, and of course problems with all those other jackwagons we work with. What are some of the basic things you need to know if you're going to survive marriage and parenthood? Whatever happened to decency, hard work, and a sharing of the basic values that made us great in the first place? When did it become unfashionable to believe in God, to go to church on Sunday, or to send our "thoughts and prayers" toward those having a difficult time? When did it become child abuse to spank your kids, instead of child abuse to avoid it? Why do we have such visceral reactions to politics when -- by and large -- we know so little about how it actually works? When is social media going to finally stop messing around and just bring the full-on possession? And why is it that, as we march further and further along the road of progress -- growing our collective knowledge and technological means of dealing with life along the way -- we seem to be regressing socially at an equally break-neck pace?
AM I CRAZY?: An Unapologetic Patriot Takes on the Insanity of Today's Woke World explores human misbehavior and stupidity in all its naked splendor with laugh-out-loud humor.

This book had me laughing so often, sometimes I thought I am glad someone had the courage to say that, and it lightened the mood of what has been happening. While reading the book, it was like I was able to let so much go and just enjoy seeing someone that had lots to say, and he was saying them. I usually don't find much that is funny, so I was surprised at how often I was laughing and just loving what I was reading.
He writes about everything in life, even himself, it was a reminder don't take things so seriously, life is short, do what makes you happy and makes you laugh. Once I got done laughing about men and skinny jeans, I did think he made some good points. It is definitely going to be a keeper and one I reread often. It was so nice to laugh again. I am recommending this book to my friends and I think they will find lots of things to laugh about too. I had never heard of the author before, but I am glad I discovered this book.
Thank you Humanix Books for sending me an ARC through NetGalley.

Chad Prather’s views of the media and the world are well documented through his social media channels and here we get a chance to look deeper into this thought processes with tongue firmly in cheek.
There is a lot to unpack here but he does present his views with a good sense of humour and his own brand of ideologies which may appear to be more right but are in fact, centrally located within the political spectre. The woke society that we are currently are so far left that they are seeing life through a monoscopic lens. Of course, there is going to be naysayers who will dismiss this book as a the rambling of a red neck which is funny considering that the woke’s pledge to life is not to judge a book by its cover, which they tend to do time and time again.
Prather views the world that we should all respect each other and that everyone is entitled to equal rights. He also spells out that equal rights are not special rights for anyone and that everyone is trying to survive. Communication is key and one of the most powerful rights that a person can have is the power of freedom of speech. You take this away and you are no longer living in a free country but a dictatorship which seems is what the general public fail to understand as a whole.
Prather serves this up with humour, understanding and a great sense of political being. It is a fun book and although I do not always agree with everything he states, I do respect his right to have the freedom to view the world in his own way.
Smart, intelligent and funny, this is a great book to look at the world beyond the social media rubbish and media slant to sell more copies and have more click bait. Thoroughly enjoyed.

If you're not familiar with Chad Prather, consider this your warning. You're either going to love him or hate him. This is an unapologetic Patriot's take on the current state of the U.S. Written in short commentaries, Prather particularly focuses on the insanity of American politics in both a funny and thought provoking manner. He has a way of making you laugh at his whit while still giving you a lot to ponder. Agree or disagree, Prather will definitely leave you entertained. One part politics, one part battle of the sexes, and one part pop culture (anyone remember Tide Pods and teenagers?), Am I Crazy is completely irreverent, absolutely politically incorrect, and highly offensive. But it's also a hilarious balance to the crazy world we live in.

Am I Crazy? is by Chad Prather. This is a hilarious book and yet it deals with some very serious topics that are alive in today’s society. These topics are ones we deal with or ignore every day and those that politicians deal with. As I read this book, basically for just the humor, it got me to thinking about some of these ideas and how I either continue to push them across or try to stop them. I have to realize that I cannot have the same progress with one as I do from the other.
I suggest it be read to open one’s mind to the possibility of a different answer to problems than the one we have thought of.

Chad has been one of my favorite people to watch to hear his perspective on the crazy stuff going on in this world. He brings a good amount of humor to remind you to not take everything so seriously, but also gets you thinking. This book was a great extension of what I see/hear from him on a daily basis. He deals with several different topics that we’ve all been watching unfold over the past few years in a way that is uniquely his own take on them. I would recommend this book to anyone I know.

Some people won't like this book - - but they probably wouldn't buy it anyway so they won't be reading it. Some of it is hilarious and there are some thought-provoking truths here. I have to admit I agree with him in a lot of his thoughts!

Chad is one of my favorite commentators, he’s smart and funny, but this book did nothing for me. I feel like if you watch his show or follow his social media you’ve gotten most of these stories before.

Maybe 3.5 stars

Laugh out loud funny. If you like Chad - you'll love this book.

Definitely enjoyed the comedic rants of the Political Cowboy. It’s nice to know there are people in the world that haven’t completely lost their minds and can laugh at a joke.

If you are familiar with Prather and his show, then you have pretty much read this book. Prather has good insights on a number of topics, but I was just looking for something new.

A lot of good information but the style of the book and writing is just not my cup of tea

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
I am not a fan of politics but this book was intriguing. I had never heard of Chad Prather but I really like his attitude on the craziness of the world. He actually makes a lot of good points and gets the reader thinking deeper than the usual knee-jerk reaction that people get when told something they either don't want to hear or don't agree with. His sense of humor made for many laughable moments.
This was a refreshing book to read. The media skews so much information and it all seems so slanted and unreliable anymore. So I thoroughly enjoyed getting a different take on the various topics he discusses.
This book won't be for everyone but I encourage people to read it and have an open mind about the good points he's getting across, even though some of it isn't pertinent as much anymore.

The Modern Day Patrick McManus, Albeit More Political
Hilarious. Downright hilarious. We all need a good dose of what is in this book if we are going to ever come together as a society. His writing reminds me a lot of Patrick McManus, except with a political twist. Read this book!
