The Coddling of the American Mind

 https://www.in-mind.org/book-reviews/the-coddling-of-the-american-mind-reviewed-by-dylan-selterman?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA88a5BhDPARIsAFj595j5ZUtndgKMe2xkILGbIYJlWHtLiNz9qFA773MlWduYq5Lxp_lL7QQaAjBREALw_wcB

In conclusion, The Coddling does an excellent job in starting an important and fascinating conversation about social dynamics, emotional health, and democracy. Anyone with an interest in social justice, politics, education, or general psychology would surely find much to appreciate throughout the book. While The Coddling may find a large general audience, it is perhaps crucial for university administrators (including Deans, Provosts, VPs, and Presidents) to read this book. Because at its heart, the book is about what’s happening on college campuses. So, to the people in charge of running those campuses: take heed. Consider signing on to the Chicago statement (a commitment to free expression). Draw large circles around your community members. Encourage productive debate and disagreement. There is a recipe for a wise university, with many helpful guidelines throughout this book.
