Coming Soon: 'Coddling of the American Mind' -- The Film

Those who are familiar with The Coddling book or The Atlantic cover story that preceded it, will get a “same but different” vibe from the movie. 

You’ll find the same ideas and concepts—such as the Gen Z mental health crisis, antifragility, free play, free expression, and the dangers of the “oppressor-victim” worldview.

And authors Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt figure prominently in the movie. The story of the two of them trying to make sense of a mental health mystery is a riveting one, and our film is the first time Greg agreed to go on camera to explain his darkest moments. 

How those dark moments could ultimately bring light to a new generation is a reminder to us all that our suffering, as pointless as it may seem in the moment, can bear fruit in beautifully unexpected ways.

I've been looking forward to this documentary. I'll get Ted on my podcast soon to talk about it. Ted has been on the front lines of free speech and cancel culture for years, so expect big things from this documentary adaptation.
