Me encantó este libro que estamos leyendo para el Doctorado.

Explica a detalle porque nos hemos vuelto una sociedad donde todo nos ofende y buscamos cancelar al que no piensa como uno. También explica la cultura de la ultra seguridad en la que las familias estamos blindando a nuestros hijos y como esto es perjudicial en su desarrollo aumentando alarmantemente la depresión y las tasas de suicidio en la juventud.

Lo mejor de todo es que además de explicarlo propone soluciones para salir de esos círculos viciosos que solamente están provocando que nos estanquemos como sociedad.

Lo recomiendo ampliamente para todo público.

A great blend of psychology and politics and parenting practice. I found myself nodding along with practically every chapter in this book, although I think you’d likely get the gist of it by reading The Atlantic article too. Hard things are hard but they are good! Think for yourself. Don’t rely solely on emotion to guide your decisions. I appreciate the practical advice included at the end of this book.

This book is great for parents, I don’t have kids and found it fascinating still. It highlights the various ways we are hurting kids by coddling them and the struggles of iGen or GenZ. This book covers the issues happening with iGen on college campuses. It’s really a must read, full with valuable info. Considering I might be working with this generation soon, it was a little scary.
