Like most books like this, the point is made within the first 4 or 5 chapters. After that it‘s just most examples to prove the point. And I agree with the points made. Yes, we are challenged as a society. We are motivated so much by self-esteem and feelings that the truth and challenging what is wrong gets muffled and silenced out of fear. It is a good book. With good points.

kspenmoll Well, I was the 2nd class of women in a Jesuit college & had upper class men & some professors angry we were there. I was totally unprepared for coming from a coed high school. Needless to say it was a radicalizing experience when I went to grad school 30 years later, it was quite different. 6mo
AlaSkaat About 7 years ago I decided to take on a Carpentry course in College. I loved to build when I was a child. I thought it well suited. I was 1 of 3 girls in my class and what seemed like the whole place. 1 girl left soon after starting, 1 girl had a very tomboy attitude which I think was partly to try & fit into the space more. The amount of times I was ‘hit on‘ or made sexual jokes that were ‘funny‘ was crazy. > 6mo
AlaSkaat < I was looked on like I just woke up one morning and was bored so decided to take on this course. Rather than gaining experience like the rest of them. It was definitely a very uncomfortable experience. Every day walking inside felt like I should just run back out. I did eventually. And I regret not getting my pass because of missing the last few classes and tests because I felt like a fraud. 6mo
GingerAntics @AlaSkaat I contemplated that type of career. I loved building as a kid as well. I will admit that academia suits me better, but gender was certainly a big part of the decision making. 6mo
TheBookHippie OMG YES. We are not the same. 5mo

The fact people are okay with, even happy with, a time widely and opening known as “post truth” is troubling… and shows that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Somehow music expression is humanising… so long as it‘s not Mick Jagger. Someone make that make sense? How closed minded of him. This dude needs to read Alfie Kohn and redo the assignment.

This was based on an article that the authors had previously written, so I was basically listening to an extended research paper. I would recommend passing on this one unless you are really into the first amendment and social trends. An issue with this one is timeliness, there have been so many more controversial events since it was published but I felt compelled to read/listen after a recommendation from our company CEO.

A wonderful mostly unbiased insight into the issues we are having with youth today and mature ways to help us help them overcome the challenges they will face.
