Has anyone else read this?

I'm 142 pages in, in just 24 hours. So far I am really loving this book.

The two authors are psychologists. The premise that they are undertaking (in an admirably non-partisan way) is that the modern ethos we have been seeing crop up (especially in academic settings) about safe spaces, trigger warnings, cancel culture, etc is (while often well-intentioned) setting up young people for failure. The authors go into how this sort of "trust your feelings above all else" and "what doesn't kill me makes me weaker"" mentality goes directly against what people are taught in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

As someone who spends significant amounts of time in left leaning spaces, but is also thoroughly over so much of the "woke-ism," this book is a breath of fresh air. And I say this as a pretty party-loyal Democrat.

The authors do a good job of not bashing any one group and certainly levels how right wing people are just as guilty of the same tribalism and unwillingness to have dialogue, without the same terminology.

I'm trying to make sure I continue reading while making sure to keep my critical thinking lenses on, so if anyone has read this and has some disagreements with it, I am all ears.

And even if you might not agree with everything in it, I would highly recommend giving it a read. Best piece of nonfiction I've picked up in awhile.
