Story
In The War on the West, international best-selling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is a history of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it? It’s become, he explains, perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What’s more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech.

Story
In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

Gender identity ideology is about more than Twitter storms and using the right pronouns. In just 10 years, laws, company policies, school and university curricula, sport, medical protocols, and the media have been reshaped to privilege self-declared gender identity over biological sex. People are being shamed and silenced for attempting to understand the consequences of redefining "man" and "woman". While compassion for transgender lives is well-intentioned, it is stifling much-needed inquiry into the significance of our bodies.

The result is that we are becoming increasingly tribal, and the narratives of life that we get exposed to on a daily basis have become echo chambers in which we hear our beliefs reinforced and others' beliefs demonized. Global diversity and inclusion expert Howard J. Ross, with coauthor JonRobert Tartaglione, explores how our human need to belong is the driving force for why we are living in a world so extremely divided.

Drawing on a decade of experience battling for freedom of speech on campus, First Amendment lawyer Greg Lukianoff reveals how higher education fails to teach students to become critical thinkers: by stifling open debate, our campuses are supercharging ideological divisions, promoting groupthink, and encouraging an unscholarly certainty about complex issues.

Free speech is the bedrock of all our liberties, and yet in recent years, it has come to be mistrusted. A new form of social justice activism, which perceives language as potentially violent, has prompted a national debate on where the limitations of acceptable speech should be drawn. Governments throughout Europe have enacted 'hate speech' legislation to curb the dissemination of objectionable ideas, Silicon Valley tech giants are collaborating to ensure that they control the limitations of public discourse, and campaigners in the US are calling for revisions to the First Amendment.

Violence is not just a product of society; male and female minds are different; the genes we give our children shape them more than our parenting practices. To acknowledge our innate abilities, Pinker shows, is not to condone inequality but to understand the very foundations of humanity.

Story
Critical race theory is one of the hottest and most controversial topics in the world today, but what is it, really? Rightly understood, critical race theory is a reinvention of an older, terrible idea, Marxism, using race "as the central construct for understanding inequality" in place of economic class. That is, critical race theory is race Marxism. The evidence of this claim is so overwhelming upon even casual examination that it is a shock that it isn't immediately plain to everyone who encounters it.
Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Coddling of the America Mind by Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff, read by Jonathan Haidt.
What doesn't kill you makes you weaker.
Always trust your feelings.
Life is a battle between good people and evil people.
These three Great Untruths contradict basic psychological principles about well-being as well as ancient wisdom from many cultures. And yet they have become increasingly woven into education, culminating in a stifling culture of 'safetyism' that began on American college campuses and is spreading throughout academic institutions in the English-speaking world.
In this book, free speech campaigner Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt investigate six trends that caused the spread of these untruths, from the decline of unsupervised play to the corporatisation of universities and the rise of new ideas about identity and justice.
Lukianoff and Haidt argue that well-intended but misguided attempts to protect young people can hamper their development, with devastating consequences for them, for the educational system and for democracy itself.

An Important book marred by false "balance"
This is a very important book, describing in clear terms how the last 40 years of over protective parenting combined with social media to create a toxic brew that has led to Stepford students conducting witch hunts, destroying academic integrity and making themselves (and everybody else) miserable in the process.
The book explicitly outlines 3 untruths core to the problem, whatever doesn't kill you makes you weaker, always trust your feelings and the world is divided into good and evil people.
The problem is that the authors political bias (they are on the left) stop them from seeing this as it is, a predominantly left wing phenomena and they engage in ever more desperate mental gymnastics to suggest that this problem afflicts both sides of the political divide equally. This isn't to say that the right doesn't have its problems but this isn't one of them. It really comes down to the old adage that the right thinks the left are wrong but the left thinks the right are evil. This distinction means that, for those on the left, one of the untruths is always a given, unfortunately, helicopter parenting and social media to put the other 2 in place to take us to where we are now..

Tries to put equal blame on left and right
Sorry but you cannot put equal blame on left and right for the situation in the US (and other) education systems when the educational establishment is almost 100% left wing. Hairy asks "Where did students learn to think this way?" Well Jonathan if you can't work that one out I fear for you, it certainly wasn't Donald Trump (who you seem to want to draw into every explanation)

An absolutely essential book.
A must read for everyone interested in the world, the possible future and the current political situation.
Though focusing on education and the university (the forge for future citizens and politicians) this book highlights some of the bad ideas and pitfalls that undermine its purpose and ill-serve its students and society at large there-after. This book is packed with useful studies, insights and analysis. Clearly written, one feels every student and teacher should read this. The fundamentals of a well functioning society are debated here, strand by strand, in one of the clearest and most succinct books i've ever read on the subject (one can see the authors pedagogic roots - and the book is all the better for it!) - essential reading!
Get ready to make notes, as the ideas are insightful, beautifully and fluidly written (and too many are worth noting down).

Could have been a quarter of the length
The narration is okay, however the problem is the content. Put simply, it's boring - same point fleshed out time and time again. Feels like the author didn't have more to offer but felt that they should write a longer book, which is a shame because the basic premise is good. I would have liked to see a more difference between the chapters and some more creativity with the topic.

Another great Haidt book
I’m not sure if I’m getting old but as someone who sometimes supports students, I seem to have noticed that many seem to be a little bit less resilient and more fragile than perhaps I was in my day. I have recently changed my style so that I can offer students the options of answering a question when I ask it or going away and thinking about it and then replying to me. Personally I find this a hopeless way of learning as I can’t really find out what student already knows and am able to give them an answer and help them think things through. Along with the fact that almost anything Jonathan Haidt writes is almost always an amazing book and certainly ‘the happiness hypothesis’ and ‘the righteous mind’ have been two of my favourite books of the last decade, and that is why I chose this book. It’s a much narrower subject but I also thought it would have a lot to offer and it certainly does. The book begins with dismantling several untruths such as what doesn’t kill you makes you weaker, always trust your feelings and people can be divided into good people and bad people. I believe all the three statements are nonsense to me but I do see others taking them on board to be true. However, we know that bones will break if we don’t put pressure on them and become stronger when we do, babies are stronger to the pressure delivered by natural birth rather than Caesarean and babies who are born in a germ free environment are much weaker than those exposed to germs. So the main message in this book is that we need to accept some pressure and stress to help make us more functional and stronger human beings in both college and the work place. Perhaps his book is not as strong as the other two Haidt books I have read but it certainly gives me plenty of food for thought. I personally found the chapter on what Internet he is doing to us on our phones alongside social media fascinating and thought-provoking. And I loved the last bit of how to do CBT which I’m going to employ and trial on one of my colleagues to see if it will help with their anxiety. There is a summary of what to do at the end, it might be of benefit. This is a fascinating book and well worth reading alongside Alex Beard’s ‘natural born learners’ which I read at the same time.

Evidence free right winger blame ruins the theory
While I highly rate this author, at the time of writing he was still a leftist in the process of being mugged by reality.
He can recognise the causes of the problem but still clings desperately to the idea that leftist ideas are just being used for bad purposes rather than simply being the poison themselves. I think the author knows that all the relevant mechanisms in his theory are all tactics of the left but in order to hedge against the cancellation he knows this would invoke he regularly throws in some blame to the mythical 'rising right-wing' that is somehow everywhere without actually ever being anywhere. This is especially laughable because we are talking about university campuses.
Oh and the book even has some orange man bad with the author pushing the 'very fine people' lie because TDS sells or something.
The author's claim that the left and right have equally contributed to the decline of tolerance and the rise censorship has not aged well at all.
The irony that the author himself is now denounced as right wing by those of his former fellow travellers for the great crime of pointing out how they were contributing to the problem.
But, despite all that, this book does a reasonable job of explaining the rise of safetyism and how it causes the insanity and divisions gripping America.
