About the author
Greg Lukianoff is an American lawyer, writer, and advocate whose work focuses on freedom of speech in higher education. His books examine campus disputes, institutional incentives, and habits that can make disagreement harder to sustain.
In The Coddling of the American Mind, Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt argue that several well-intended ideas can encourage fragile thinking when treated as general rules. Their diagnosis combines cognitive-behavioral concepts with claims about parenting, institutions, and campus culture that readers should evaluate as an argument, not a settled consensus.
Where to start
Start with The Coddling of the American Mind, co-written with Jonathan Haidt, for their case about education, safety, disagreement, and psychological habits.
