📝 Description

"The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure" is a 2018 non-fiction book by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt. It explores the negative impact of certain trends in higher education and parenting on the mental health and intellectual development of young people, particularly focusing on the rise of 'safetyism' and its effects on free speech and resilience. The authors argue that three 'Great Untruths' – 'What doesn't kill you makes you weaker,' 'Always trust your feelings,' and 'Life is a battle between good people and evil people' – are contributing to a generation that is less resilient and more prone to anxiety and depression.
