The Coddling of the American Mind: A Must-Read Book to Avoid Raising a Generation of Failure

This review is about The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure, an eye-opening book by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt. This thought-provoking read delves into the ways in which society has changed over the past few decades, particularly when it comes to parenting and education. By examining the impact of the ‘safety culture’, the authors discuss how our current approach to emotional well-being could be leading to long-term psychological damage in young people. Through their in-depth research and analysis, they offer insight into why our current practices are failing us and suggest alternative methods of addressing these issues.
