About this listen
The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller
It’s time we get back to common sense.
It’s time to cancel the cancel culture.
It’s time to Wake Up.
If, like me, you’re sick and tired of being told how to think, speak, eat and behave, then this book is for you.
If, like me, you think the world’s going absolutely nuts, then this book is for you.
If, like me, you think NHS heroes and Captain Tom are the real stars of our society, not self-obsessed tone-deaf celebrities (and royal renegades!), then this book is for you. If, like me, you’re sickened by the cancel culture bullies destroying people’s careers and lives, then this book is for you. From feminism to masculinity, racism to gender, body image to veganism, mental health to competitiveness at school, the right to free speech and expressing an honestly held opinion is being crushed at the altar of ‘woke’ political correctness.
In 2020, the world faced its biggest crisis in a generation: a global pandemic. In the UK, it exposed deep divisions within society and laid bare a toxic culture war that had been raging beneath the surface. From the outset, Piers Morgan urged the nation to come to its senses, once and for all, and held the Government to often ferocious account over its handling of the crisis.
COVID-19 shed shocking light on the problems that plague our country. Stockpilers and lockdown-cheats revealed our grotesque levels of self-interest and the virtue-signalling woke brigade continued their furious assault on free speech, shutting down debate on important issues like gender, racism and feminism. Yet just as coronavirus exposed our flaws, it also showcased our strengths. We saw selfless bravery in the heroic efforts of our healthcare staff. A greater appreciation of migrant workers. A return of local community spirit. And inspiring, noble acts from members of the public such as Captain Sir Tom Moore.
Wake Up is Piers’ rallying cry for a united future in which we reconsider what really matters in life. It is a plea for the return of true liberalism, where freedom of speech is king. Most of all, it is a powerful account of how the world finally started to wake up, and why it mustn’t go back to sleep again.

Talks a lot of sense
I enjoyed listening to Piers and his views on the weird ways of people these days. It did become a bit intense after a few hours of listening during work, so would split it up a bit.

There are some things I ...
... don’t agree with Piers. But that’s the whole point. You listen other people’s opinion! You don’t always have to agree but listening or reading other people’s opinion makes you have different perspectives.

Unexpected honest and insightful
I didn’t know what to expect, I just knew Piers’ for inflammatory headlines in daily mail and some rants against BBCBreakfast, but during Covid-19 I got more active (reading) in Twitter and there he was. I noticed his change of tone and surprisingly I started to agree with him! The book is brilliant, it doesn’t mean I agree with all his views but it is a great diary for the first half of 2020. I am really looking forward to the second part because the year is not over, US elections, COVID-19, Brexit, etc. We’ll keep the printed version for future reference. The writing is fun and fast pace. I really enjoyed it

Brilliant
I wasn’t a great fan of Piers but I am now. I liked the diary it documented all the relevant issues of this year . The dangers of woke and the illiberal liberals.
A great gift for anyone who has not been made aware of all of these important issues relating to freedom of speech .

Amazing recap of the world going nuts
I loved Piers candid commentary of everything we feel. He’s hilarious, quick witted and speaks many truths. I’m completely fed up of Meghan and Harry also being such ungrateful and spoilt brats who think the law doesn’t apply to them.
