The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure

The book "The Coddling of the American Mind" is a groundbreaking exploration into the current state of higher education on college campuses.

Written by two experts in their respective fields, Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt, this book sheds light on the three dangerous ideas that have taken hold of American childhood and education: the belief that what doesn't kill you makes you weaker, always trust your feelings, and life is a battle between good people and evil people.

These untruths are not only harmful to young people's social, emotional, and intellectual development but also contribute to the rising rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide on campus. Through extensive research and compelling arguments, Lukianoff and Haidt demonstrate how these false beliefs have become deeply ingrained in our culture, leading to a culture of safetyism that undermines freedom of inquiry and speech.

The book offers practical solutions for parents, educators, and students to address these issues and create a more sane society.

Don't miss out on this essential read for anyone concerned about the future of higher education and the well-being of young people.
