Drawing on original research and data, along with hundreds of new examples from publishing to psychotherapy, comedy, science and medicine, this book shows how the left and the right both work to silence their enemies in different ways. It's not simply a matter of Twitter spats; people are losing their jobs, livelihoods and sometimes their lives over it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEye-opening, urgent and transformative, \u003ci\u003eThe Canceling of the American Mind\u003c\/i\u003e argues that cancel culture is not merely a moral panic, but a dysfunctional way in which people battle for power, status and dominance: moving us away from being able to argue productively, listen generously and ultimately be civil when we disagree. This book offers concrete steps towards reclaiming a culture of free speech, with materials specifically tailored for parents, teachers, business leaders and all those who use social media. It shows how we can all harness intellectual humility to become more resilient and open minded.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":57685746057589,"sku":"9781802063165","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":43201632305330,"sku":"9780241645574","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781802063165.jpg?v=1792598918"},{"product_id":"9780141986302","title":"The Coddling of the American Mind","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFinancial Times, TLS, Evening Standard, New Statesman\u003c\/i\u003e Books of the Year\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Excellent, their advice is sound . . . liberal parents, in particular, should read it' \u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHave good intentions, over-parenting and the decline in unsupervised play led to the emergence of modern identity politics and hypersensitivity?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, free speech campaigner Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt investigate a new cultural phenomenon of \"safetyism\", beginning on American college campuses in 2014 and spreading throughout academic institutions in the English-speaking world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooking at the consequences of paranoid parenting, the increase in anxiety and depression amongst students and the rise of new ideas about justice, Lukianoff and Haidt argue that well-intended but misguided attempts to protect young people are damaging their development and mental health, the functioning of educational systems and even democracy itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56225689338229,"sku":"9780141986302","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780141986302_137f9609-c298-4a6c-95d6-0bff057c2224.jpg?v=1786011117"},{"product_id":"9781949846829","title":"The War On Words","description":"\u003cb\u003eHeresy Press’s first non-fiction offering addresses free speech and creative freedom—central to the press’s mission—in the form of a concise primer of arguments against censorship.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Co-authored by Greg Lukianoff and Nadine Strossen, \u003ci\u003eThe War on Words: 10 Arguments Against Free Speech—And Why They Fail\u003c\/i\u003e constitutes a bulwark against attempts from both the political left and right to limit individual expression.
