📝 Description

Co-authored by Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff, this book explores how 'safetyism' and the overprotection of young people have led to a rise in anxiety and a decline in resilience. It examines the impact of social media, changes in parenting, and the culture of university campuses on the mental health of the younger generation. The authors argue that by shielding people from uncomfortable ideas and minor stressors, society is inadvertently making them less capable of handling the challenges of the real world.
