Michael Miller, Ph.D. Releases Bold New Book Challenging the Legacy of Sigmund Freud
“Freud Was an Asshole” offers a sharp, thought-provoking critique of one of psychology’s most influential figures
LOS ANGELES, CA — April 18, 2026 — Michael Miller, Ph.D., author, educator, and strategist, has released his latest book, Sigmund Freud Was an Asshole, a provocative and unapologetic examination of Sigmund Freud’s theories and lasting influence on modern psychology.
In this bold new work, Miller challenges the long-standing reverence surrounding Freud, arguing that many of his foundational ideas lack scientific rigor and have been accepted more through tradition than evidence. The book critically examines both Freud’s theories and the personality-driven forces that helped cement his place in intellectual history.
Written in a direct and often darkly humorous style, Sigmund Freud Was an Asshole makes complex psychological concepts accessible to a broad audience while encouraging readers to question authority and think independently.
“This isn’t about being controversial,” said Miller. “It’s about taking a hard look at what we’ve been taught—and asking whether it actually holds up.”
The book is expected to resonate with readers interested in psychology, intellectual history, and critical thinking, particularly those willing to challenge long-standing assumptions.
Freud Was an Asshole is available now directly from the publisher at wwwNewFalcon.com, as well as on Amazon in both print and Kindle formats.
