The Coddling of the American Mind w/ Jonathan Haidt #59

The Next Year Now Podcast

After a brief hiatus for the holiday break, we are back with another fantastic episode to help you thrive in life. This week we speak with Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist who studies morality (among other things) and who is the co-author of what might be the most important book you read in 2019, The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure.

Here is a sobering stat from our discussion ... the number of girls from the ages of 10 to 13 that have harmed themselves has tripled in just the last 3 years. Jonathan talks about why this is happening, and how some very bad ideas (with good intentions) is connected to this and what we can do about it.
