Jonathan Haidt - The Coddling of the American Mind

Jonathan Haidt introduces his book, co-authored with Greg Lukianoff, discussing the changing culture on college campuses and the rise in mental health issues among students. The book explores three harmful ideas prevalent on campuses: the belief that challenges make students weaker, the notion of always trusting one's feelings, and the idea of life as a battle between good and evil. Haidt argues these ideas contribute to increased anxiety and polarization, advocating for a more resilient and understanding approach inspired by stoic philosophy.
