Description

The Coddling of the American Mind explores how the culture of safetyism is affecting the mental health and development of young people in America. Authors Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt argue that well-intentioned but misguided ideas about safety and emotional well-being are creating a generation that is less resilient and more prone to anxiety and depression. The book delves into the implications of these trends on education, politics, and society at large.
