The creeping rise of 'safetyism' is not producing the desired protective effect and is in fact increasing harms. This book examines the problems caused by misinterpreting social interactions by viewing encounters through the lenses of cognitive distortions. The polarisation of political ideas in the university setting is explained in terms of how children are raised and the deficits it creates in resilience and capacity to deal with adversity.
