One Nation Under Therapy

In "One Nation Under Therapy," authors Christina Hoff Sommers and Sally Satel explore the emergence of a therapeutic culture that suggests Americans are emotionally fragile and in need of constant professional support. They argue that this shift undermines traditional values of self-reliance and resilience, as society becomes inundated with solutions for every challenge. Blending established science with witty commentary, the book critiques how the prevalent "therapism" and trauma industry can detract from our innate ability to address life's difficulties directly.
