Haidt and Lukianoff present their case with a measured, even hand, and provide resources for becoming a stronger, more resilient person. In short, a combination of good intentions and bad ideas has led to a youth population more anxious, depressed, and ill-equipped to deal with the vicissitudes of life than ever before.
