On American college campuses, guest speakers are disinvited, even insulted, while professors, students, and administrators are afraid to speak openly for fear that someone will be offended. Political discussions on social media and television have devolved into a wave of hyper-partisan noise. A generation of overprotective parents are reluctant to let their children play outside without supervision. How did we get here? And how can we change the way we interact with each other?
The Coddling of the American Mind, by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt, plumbs the depths of this generational crisis. Join us for a lively discussion with the authors, president of the nonprofit Let Grow and founder of the Free-Range Kids movement Lenore Skenazy, and #1 New York Times bestseller Malcolm Gladwell on way we, as citizens, can engage with each other across the political spectrum.
Recorded January 16, 2019 at the 92nd Street Y.
