Daily Tao – The Coddling of the American Mind (Greg Lukianoff;Jonathan Haidt) – 1

This is a book about three Great Untruths that seem to have spread widely in recent years: The Untruth of Fragility: What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker. The Untruth of Emotional Reasoning: Always trust your feelings. The Untruth of Us Versus Them: Life is a battle between good people and evil people.

I’ll be covering a few excerpts of this book for the next week. This book is from one of my favourite authors, and this is a fascinating and interesting read where you can learn not jut about the development of your child, but also find some explanations as to why we find ourselves moving into a ever more divisive political culture in the United States.  I think some of trends are also relevant and happening in our local culture.
