[Swedish] - Den överbeskyddade människan: hur goda intentioner och dåliga idéer förstör för en hel generation

"Den överbeskyddade människan tar avstamp i ett nytt fenomen på amerikanska universitet. Studenter kräver att föreläsare, talare och rektorer som avviker från deras världsbild ska avlägsnas, eller till och med avskedas. Greg Lukianoff och Jonathan Haidt spårar denna utveckling till att många unga idag får en överbeskyddande och ängslig uppfostran som berövar dem möjligheten att utveckla självförtroende och förmåga att på egen hand lösa konflikter. Paranoida föräldrar, ökningen av ångest och depression bland elever och uppkomsten av nya idéer om rättvisa leder enligt författarna till välmenande men miss-riktade försök att skydda unga människor. Istället skadas deras utveckling och mentala hälsa, utbildningssystemens funktion och till och med själva demokratin. Boken har ett förord skrivet av Johan Hakelius, politisk chefredaktör för nyhetsmagasinet Fokus."

The Canceling of the American Mind: How Cancel Culture Undermines Trust, Destroys Institutions, and Threatens Us All

"Brought to you by Penguin. A new way of thinking about cancel culture and the much-needed antidote for our dangerous and divisive times Cancel culture isn't just a moral panic: it erodes our ability to argue productively, listen generously and to be civil when we disagree. Whether on university campuses, in the workplace or on social media, it is a dysfunctional part of how individuals battle for power, status, and dominance. It's just one symptom of a much larger problem: why bother refuting your opponents, when you can just take away their platform or career? In this book, Lukianoff and Shlott analyze the pervasive effects of cancel culture, drawing on original research and data, along with hundreds of new examples showing how the left and the right both work to silence their enemies in different ways. Eye-opening, urgent and transformative, The Canceling of the American Mind offers concrete steps towards reclaiming a culture of free speech, with materials specifically tailored for parents, teachers, business leaders and all those who use social media. It shows how we can all harness intellectual humility to become more resilient and open minded. ©2023 Greg Lukianoff & Rikki Schlott (P)2023 Penguin Audio"

The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure

"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 corporatization 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."
