THE CANCELING OF THE AMERICAN MIND - GREG LUKIA...

Why bother refuting your opponents  when you can just take away their platform or career?  
Greg Lukianoff was one of the first to raise the alarm about the troubling social and
psychological consequences of the growing intolerance of opposing viewpoints on university
campuses in America  a phenomenon which then swept through the English-speaking world.  In this
new book  he teams up with Rikki Schlott to show how this trend has spread to a wide range of
workplaces and cultural spaces  which are giving up on a culture of free speech in favour of
cancel culture. 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. 
Eye-opening  urgent and transformative  The Canceling of the American Mind 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.
