The Coddling of the American Mind

In this audiobook, First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explore the troubling trends unfolding on college campuses, where free speech is under threat and mental health issues are on the rise. They identify three "Great Untruths" that hinder students' development—beliefs that contradict established psychological principles. By examining societal shifts, including parenting styles and the impact of social media, the authors highlight how these ideas contribute to a culture of safetyism and hinder young people's ability to navigate life’s challenges. This work offers valuable insights for those concerned about the dynamics of education, social interactions, and political polarization in America.
