Something has been going wrong on many college campuses in the last fewyears. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they arewalking on eggshells and are afraid to speak honestly. Rates of depressionand anxiety are rising. How did this happen? First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt investigate the many social trends that have intersected to cause the spread of these newproblems on campus--from the rise of fearful parenting, to the new worldof social media that has engulfed teenagers, to America's rapidly rising political polarization and dysfunction.
A book for parents, teachers, college students, or anyone who is confused by the growing divisions within American society, The Coddlingof the American Mind is the story behind the inability of Americans tolive, work, and cooperate across party lines.
