Excellent . . . their advice is sound . . . liberal parents, in
particular, should read it
*Financial Times*
An important if disturbing book . . . Lukianoff and Haidt tell a
plausible story
*The Times*
A compelling and timely argument against attitudes and practises
that, however well-intended, are damaging our universities, harming
our children and leaving an entire generation intellectually and
emotionally ill-prepared for an ever-more fraught and complex
world. A brave and necessary work.
*Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks*
No one is omniscient or infallible, so a willingness to evaluate
new ideas is vital to understanding our world. Yet universities,
which ought to be forums for open debate, are developing a
reputation for dogmatism and intolerance. Haidt and Lukianoff,
distinguished advocates of freedom of expression, offer a deep
analysis of what's going wrong on campus, and how we can hold
universities to their highest ideals.
*Steven Pinker*
Our behavior in society is not immune to the power of rational
scientific analysis. Through that lens, prepare yourself for a
candid look at the softening of America, and what we can do about
it.
*Neil deGrasse Tyson*
We can talk ourselves into believing that some kinds of speech will
shatter us, or we can talk ourselves out of that belief. The
authors know the science. We are not as fragile as our
self-appointed protectors suppose. Read this deeply informed book
to become a more resilient soul in a more resilient democracy.
*Philip E. Tetlock*
