ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Coddling of the American Mind" by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt explores the rise of safetyism on college campuses and its impact on students' mental health and critical thinking skills. The authors delve into the emergence of a culture that prioritizes emotional safety over intellectual engagement, examining the influence of three "Great Untruths" on this trend. They discuss how the i.Gen, with their extensive social media use and exposure to constant social comparison, experiences heightened rates of anxiety and depression. The book analyzes how paranoid parenting and the decline of free play have contributed to students' fragility. Additionally, the growth of campus bureaucracy is explored, revealing how overregulation inadvertently reinforces the idea that students are weak and unable to manage conflicts on their own. The authors propose solutions for cultivating resilience and encouraging intellectual exploration in young people.
