The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt

Short intro

In The Coddling of the American Mind, Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt explore how well‑meaning ideas about safety, speech, and emotional protection on campuses have unintentionally weakened resilience and open dialogue. Drawing on psychology and real‑world examples, the authors argue that avoiding discomfort can lead to anxiety, division, and reduced critical thinking. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
