Study Guide: The Coddling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt Audiobook

SuperSummary, a modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, offers high-quality instructional study guides for challenging works of literature. 

This audio study guide for The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas are Setting Up a Generation for Failure by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt includes a detailed summary and analysis of each chapter and an in-depth exploration of the book’s multiple symbols, motifs, and themes, such as the counterproductive culture of “Safetyism” and the benefits of cognitive behavioral therapy. Featured content also includes commentary on major characters, 25 important quotes, essay questions, and discussion topics.   

Published in 2018, this book of contemporary psychology suggests that parents and schools have taught children to fear and reject ideas that upset them, and the authors take to task this overabundance of caution. This audio study guide presents the same expert content — written by experienced teachers, professors, and literary scholars — in an easy-to-access audio format. 

SuperSummary study guides demonstrate an authoritative voice, present expert analysis, offer big picture ideas, and help listeners understand a work’s underlying meanings and conclusions.
