Über diesen Titel

 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. Bildung Popularkultur Seelische & Geistige Gesundheit Sozialwissenschaften

I hope they are right when they are optimistic about the years to come. Warning against tribalism, identity politics, us-them thinking, victimization, safeteism, micro-aggressions, calling-out etc., I'm on line with them. Interesting to hear the ideas about I-Generation and the potential harm or influence that social media might have on youth. I also find their argument for underscoring our common humanity instead of diverse identities, is a far better way. I also believe they are right about pointing to our mental system as a system that is anti-fragile - it should not be held safe from all harm and hurt, without adversity it gets weak. What doesn't break you makes you stronger. Finally - I think I'll look up, CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy). I do believe that we shouldn't just trust our feelings, yet they can be irritatingly insistent and loud - I would like to be able to think as clearly, critically and rationally about some topics, but sometimes emotions makes me less 'coolly' rational.

I got this audiobook after Konstantin Kisin mentioned it in his An Immigrant’s Loveletter To The West.

Haidt & Lukiaoff shed a light on the forces that play behind this worrying trend towards the easily offended crowds, call-out and cancel culture.
It is very interesting and insightful.
As a mother I found their thoughts on modern day childhood an coming of age very true. I was almost relieved to see that I am obviously not the only parent to worry about this.

I very much appreciated that the authors also suggest ideas/actions to get out of this vicious victimising circle, ending the (audio)book on a positive, hopeful and empowering note.

I highly recommend this (audio)book.

On target!

The probably most important book of these times

This is basically a discussion of current social trends and the importance of education in general. Solid, well structured ideas. Great examples from history and the current day. Helps to understand what’s going on with the people around us. Highly recommended.

Broader implications than the title might suggest

Mit etwas linken Bias beschreiben Jonathan Haidt und Greg Lukianhoff die entsprechenden Entwicklungen an den Universitäten. All das findet in abgeschwächter Form nun auch in Deutschland statt.

Lesenswert für Deutsche
