I really like their original The Atlantic article of the same name (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/09/the-coddling-of-the-american-mind/399356/ https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/09/the-cod...) but was disappointed by the book, too much repetition and filler material.
Still worth a look, though, and the situation has not gotten better in the last 5 years.
- spaetzleesser 5y ago“ too much repetition and filler material” That describes a lot of popular business, psychology and science books. I don’t really understand why authors feel pressure to fill hundreds of pages. A lot of books would be much better if they got to the point in 50 pages.
