Description
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 he 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.

Praise for AM I CRAZY?: An Unapologetic Patriot Takes on the Insanity of Today’s Woke World by Chad Prather
"Chad is a verbal cannon with common sense. He calls things as they are and sees the serious issues with a humorous slant. Regardless of what side you stand on he shines a spotlight on the cultural condition and helps us remember that we are all just humble human beings navigating the journey called life." — Glenn Beck, New York Times bestselling author and host of The Glenn Beck Program
“This book is classic Chad Prather, which is to say insightful, manly, funny—absolute must read!” — Dinesh D’Souza, filmmaker and New York Times bestselling author of United States of Socialism
“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, host of The Rubin Report and New York Times bestselling author of Don’t Burn This Book
“It’s been said that common sense isn’t so common anymore, and that’s exactly why the world needs Chad Prather more than ever. He’s a throwback to a saner and more fun-loving America. His rants are OUR rants. So if you’re not sure whether to laugh or cry when you turn on the news, read this book and be consoled in knowing these woke radicals have provided Chad with a ton of fodder for some amazing jokes.” — CHARLIE KIRK, National Radio Host and Founder of Turning Point USA
“Chad’s wisdom has an easy place between a fine bourbon and a laugh in the kind of way that makes you think ‘Am I getting old, because this used to make sense.’ You’re not getting old. You’re just enjoying the personality of someone who makes the crazy talk around you feel less crazy.” — ANDREW WILKOW, host of The Wilkow Majority
“Chad has perfected his storytelling ability using both historical references and humor to drive a point home. Societal issues may seem complicated, but Chad is masterful at quickly simplifying even the most complex of issues. Am I Crazy? is a breath of fresh air in a time where everyone else is too afraid to speak the truth. Who knew a redneck could be so insightful?!” — Sara Gonzales, host of Blaze TV The News and Why It Matters
“Chad Prather is not only the next Governor of Texas… he is my friend! Chad uses his humor and amazing way to connect with Americans to make sense of the crazy times we are in. Whether you love him or hate him we need more people just like him! This book is a testament to what American needs! We are in a fight for America, and I’m glad we have Chad Prather!” — Graham Allen, founder of Nine Twelve United, host of Dear America and author of America 3:16
“Chad Prather is the Will Rogers of our time: funny, thoughtful, and quintessentially American. If that appeals to you, so will this book. Buy it, laugh, and enjoy his unique perspective on America.” — Larry Alex Taunton, author of Around the World in (More Than) 80 Days
