"Everything's Speeding Up"

"Part of the problem is the unforeseen result of helicopter parenting. If you schedule your children from 6 a.m. to when they go to bed, yes, it can make a perfect heat-seeking missile directed right at Harvard or Stanford, but it can undermine students' sense of autonomy. It can undermine their sense of competence. And that's unfortunately a really effective formula for anxious and depressed kids. And the more anxious campuses become, the harder it is to actually sustain tolerance for outsiders and dialogue."

Julie Beck at The Atlantic interviews Greg Lukianoff three years after "The Coddling of the American Mind."

And Andrew Sullivan at New York reacts to reading Lukianoff's book.
