Summary

Jordan Klepper sits down with author Lexie Freiman to unpack how her new book, "The Book of Ayn," helps readers understand narcissism through the lense of satire, and how ego deaths can lead to enlightenment. Plus, NYU professor and author, Jonathan Haidt, discusses his latest book, "The Anxious Generation," and how the shift from outside play to the internet and social media has negatively affected young people's mental health and development.
