    About this ebook

    The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure by Greg Lukianoff ​​​​​​​ | Conversation Starters

    Campuses are now troubled because of three terrible ideas: 1) What doesn't kill you makes you weaker; 2)Always trust your feelings; and 3) Life is a battle between good people and evil people. These ideas are woven into the way the youth are raised through childhood and how they are educated. This book will help us understand why there is rising intolerance in society today. It can help us find solutions with its deeply informed insights and scientific studies that prove important points. It is a book that will enable Americans to be more resilient and to nurture a resilient democracy. 
    The Coddling of the American Mind is in the bestseller list of the New York Times and in Amazon’s Education category. The New York Times Book Review praises it for its “comprehensive analysis.”

      The authors lost me when they completely lied about the diagnostic criteria for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. If you're going to reference the DSM and educate people that it provides strict guidelines on diagnostic criteria, don't turn around and then say "at least among some in psychology" the diagnosis now only required subjective feelings to be diagnosedd - you could have PTSD from stubbing your toe now. COMPLETE garbage, and these gentemen know it. Nothing I had heard up to that point besides peanut allergies was backed by ANY research. The authors made sure to make clear that none of the things they SAY are being taught on college campuses are not ACTUALLY taught directly, but "you know, these things can be inferred." I really did enjoy the time spent addressing cognitive distortions. Would have been FANTASTIC if the authors would have watched for their own distortions. When discussing the instruction that addressing a student by the wrong gender might create danger for that student, you point out that "It doesn't SAY "emotional danger", but we know what they meant don't we? After all, there's no way just doing that could create a PHYSICALLLY dangerous situation." Check your cognitive distortions. If this was Family Feud and we were looking for the most common Cognitive Distortions, you've hit #1 on the board - Jumping to Conclusions. Believing you know for a fact what someone was thinking. In more colloquial terms, mistaking an opinion for a fact. You don't think identifying a student who may identify as a gender other than their birth sex can create a physical safety risk for a student? There's a line of young men and women who've been beaten because of just that. The line would be longer, but some of them are dead. I really was curious and went into this with an open mind. I haven't been on a college campus in a decade - maybe a lot has changed. But right from jump, when the authors said "They aren't really taught this DIRECTLY, you have to infer it", I started to suspect this was going to be just a political pandering masquerading as science. Maybe it gets better after I stopped reading, but when you just flat out lie I have no use for you.
