À propos de cet audio

 Something has been going wrong on many college campuses in the last few years. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and are afraid to speak honestly. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising—on campus as well as nationally. How did this happen?

First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker; always trust your feelings; and life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths contradict basic psychological principles about well-being and ancient wisdom from many cultures. Embracing these untruths—and the resulting culture of safetyism—interferes with young people’s social, emotional, and intellectual development. It makes it harder for them to become autonomous adults who are able to navigate the bumpy road of life.

Lukianoff and Haidt investigate the many social trends that have intersected to promote the spread of these untruths. They explore changes in childhood such as the rise of fearful parenting, the decline of unsupervised, child-directed play, and the new world of social media that has engulfed teenagers in the last decade. They examine changes on campus, including the corporatization of universities and the emergence of new ideas about identity and justice. They situate the conflicts on campus within the context of America’s rapidly rising political polarization and dysfunction.

This is an audiobook for anyone who is confused by what is happening on college campuses today, or has children, or is concerned about the growing inability of Americans to live, work, and cooperate across party lines.

I have noticed an increasing lack of space in public discourse for critical debate and appropriate skepticism of social justice advocacy that verges on group think, public shaming and tactics used in Germany in the 1930s. As Generation X, I was taught to “trust no one, the truth is out there”. With children immersed in the internet, they have developed thin skins and soft brains easily manipulated by the corporate sector and ideologues. We don’t celebrate achievement anymore but whine about grievances. Social cohesion is being ripped apart and the first signs of trouble come from our university faculty and students. As the authors point out, it is time for some tough love. Be offended and learn to attack positions not people. This is a great book to identify the problems and present some solutions.

Finally! A balanced explanation of the iGen/Generation Z so distressing the rest of us

Excellent book that I initially read to understand the state of universities but also gained understanding of my own thought processes. Excellent read!

Eye opening

Haidt and Lukianoff set out in this brilliantly written and well-substantiated book to systematically dismantle a culture that is setting us up politically, socially, economically, and morally to reverse the hard-fought wisdom that undergirds our individual and collective ability to cooperate, solve problems, cope with hardship, and gain knowledge. With a hint of good humour, and a consistent adherence to evidence, this book describes both the problem of the “great untruths” and their antithesis, so that we may become better parents, better people, and along the way create a better society. Anyone whose lives will touch social media, educational institutions, and politics—in other words everyone—would benefit from committing to memory what this books lays out as a solution to our “culture of safetyism”, and implement it in their daily lives, especially when raising their children. I have benefited greatly from engaging with this book.

Well reasoned, and much needed

this book was refreshing, in a world full of group think and "cancel culture Mob mentality" this book breaks apart all of the steps we as a society took to get here and how to reverse some of the negatives while maintaining the positives. this is a refreshing take on the world around you! this should be read in all high schools !!

Finally a view of today that is accurate.

Jonathan Haight seems like a reasonable person. I feel like, if I were to meet him, we could dialogue about tough topics without it getting out of hand. He’s got some solid ideas in the book about how to correct some parenting mistakes that have led to serious societal unhappiness.

Should be required reading for every parent.

Some of the authors description of events filled me with Angst. However, a promising path forward, and solutions to fix the mess we are currently in are used to conclude the book which provides a sense of joy looking towards the future.

Good read. Thought provoking discussions

I loved this book! It has been the inspiration for and topic of many a conversation with my husband, teenage daughter, friends, teachers, and community! So much wisdom, insight, and clarity around super charged topics that extend far beyond college and university campuses in the States. A great read, and fantastic listen! Thank you!

Thought-provoking and Timely!
