Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and are afraid to speak honestly. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising—on campus as well as nationally. How did this happen?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Anxious Generation,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWhat doesn’t kill you makes you weaker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ealways trust your feelings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e; and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003elife is a battle between good people and evil people\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. These three Great Untruths contradict basic psychological principles about well-being and ancient wisdom from many cultures.  Embracing these untruths—and the resulting culture of safetyism—interferes with young people’s social, emotional, and intellectual development. It makes it harder for them to become autonomous adults who are able to navigate the bumpy road of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLukianoff and Haidt investigate the many social trends that have intersected to promote the spread of these untruths. They explore changes in childhood such as the rise of fearful parenting, the decline of unsupervised, child-directed play, and the new world of social media that has engulfed teenagers in the last decade. They examine changes on campus, including the corporatization of universities and the emergence of new ideas about identity and justice. They situate the conflicts on campus within the context of America’s rapidly rising political polarization and dysfunction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a book for anyone who is confused by what is happening on college campuses today, or has children, or is concerned about the growing inability of Americans to live, work, and cooperate across party lines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Lovers BD","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":55139028140323,"sku":null,"price":390.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":55139028173091,"sku":null,"price":520.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":55139028205859,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/5872\/2083\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_5b02fd0f-e47c-46af-a2b9-63657fc49914.jpg?v=1779518007","url":"https:\/\/www.bookloversbd.shop\/products\/the-coddling-of-the-american-mind-by-jonathan-haidt","provider":"Book Lovers BD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
