Todd Hayen’s fearless essays challenge conformity, globalism, and post-COVID illusions—provocative, unsettling, yet empowering. A sharp call to awaken, question, and reclaim freedom in today’s uncertain age.
“In The View of the Shrew, Todd Hayen provides his readers a dual service: he not only documents the madness of the last several years, he also documents the reaction to that madness by both the masses of indoctrinated sheep and by the few, critical-thinking shrews. As a result, the book serves as a valuable reflection on the social and psychological toll that recent events have taken on us all and offers readers a way out of the mess.”
“Todd’s great skill, seamlessly switching from academic psycho-social concepts to relatable neighborly anecdote, means he is almost uniquely able to communicate complex ideas in an accessible way. His is an important voice on the independent media landscape. “
“In The View of the Shrew, Todd Hayen dares to say what others won’t. It’s not just a chronicle of the Covid era—it’s a rallying cry for integrity, insight, and the fight to stay human in an upside-down world.”
“Todd Hayen, a music composer and psychotherapist, writes with the insight of the latter and the tunefulness of the former. He is multitalented, and I have been reading his articles for a long time, for his insights, dark humor, and care-full admonishments for all our individual foibles and his astringent critiques of society’s derelictions. His writing is interesting in so many ways because his mind is capacious and his manner inviting. I urge you to read this book, for if you do, you will understand why Todd, while drawing you into his compositions, can mesmerize you with words that enhance all our lives.”
