Ep. 93 ‘Coddling’ one year later

One year ago this week, “The Coddling of the American Mind: How
Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for
Failure” was published.


On today’s episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we
sit down with FIRE President & CEO Greg Lukianoff, who
co-authored the book with Jonathan Haidt, to reflect on what’s
changed — or hasn’t changed — in the intervening year.
