Reminds me of Jonathan Haidt’s book The Coddling of the American Mind.
Good stuff. I just listened to several of his Youtube videos last week. He has an original mind and is insightful thinker - quite eloquent as well. I have his book "The Righteous Mind" on my shortlist.

Haidt’s 3 Great Untruths:
1. What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker
2. Always trust your feelings
3.Life is a battle between good people and evil people.
