Summary

If you've not read the Atlantic article The Coddling of the American Mind, or the book that followed it, you've likely heard us recommend it. And now, it's a documentary, so Hannah got straight on the Zoom to California to talk to its producer Courtney Moorehead Balaker about the current mental health crisis among young people and how, rather than helping, the culture on US university campuses is making young people more vulnerable. And how tribalism, helicopter parenting and the “one strike and you're out” culture of public shaming has left young people afraid to make mistakes. The original Atlantic article, by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt, is here: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/09/the-coddling-of-the-american-mind/399356/ You can buy the book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coddling-American-Mind-Intentions-Generation/dp/0735224897 And you can watch the film here: https://www.thecoddlingmovie.com/ If you are struggling with your mental health, please reach out to the Samaritans.
