Something has been going wrong on many post-secondary campuses in the last few years. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising. How did this happen? This webinar is based on bestselling book, The Coddling of the American Mind. This book shows how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into our 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 young adults to navigate the bumpy road of life.
