- anonfornoreason 5y agoRead “the coddling of the American mind”, fantastic book that gives some insight into how we now raise kids to be fragile instead of anti fragile, so when things come up they get blown up into existential catastrophes. Very very good book and audiobook. Haidt also has another great book that dives into political differences at a fundamental level, helps understand how to bridge empathy gap in current divisive political climate.
