ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Coddling of the American Mind” by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt examines the rising culture of "safetyism" on college campuses and its broader impact on society. The authors explore how well-intentioned cultural shifts, such as overprotective parenting, the decline of free play, and an emphasis on emotional safety, have contributed to a generation of students who are more anxious, less resilient, and more polarized. The book delves into the consequences of avoiding discomfort, the rise of ideological purity, and the decline of open discourse. It offers insights into how these trends are affecting mental health, critical thinking, and social cohesion.
