'Excellent, their advice is sound . . . liberal parents, in particular, should read it' — Financial Times
Have good intentions, over-parenting, and the decline in unsupervised play led to the emergence of modern identity politics and hypersensitivity?
In this thought-provoking book, free speech campaigner Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt delve into the cultural phenomenon of "safetyism", which began on American college campuses in 2014 and has since spread throughout academic institutions in the English-speaking world.
Key Themes Explored:
- The consequences of paranoid parenting.
- The increase in anxiety and depression among students.
- The rise of new ideas about justice.
Lukianoff and Haidt argue that these well-intended but misguided attempts to protect young people are:
- Damaging their development and mental health.
- Undermining the functioning of educational systems.
- Threatening the health of democracy itself.
