Bloomberg Best Book of 2018

The New York Times bestseller

Something has been going wrong on many college campuses in the last few years. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and are afraid to speak honestly. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising--on campus as well as nationally. How did this happen?

First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: What doesn't kill you makes you weaker; always trust your feelings; and life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths contradict basic psychological principles about well-being and ancient wisdom from many cultures. Embracing these untruths--and the resulting culture of safetyism--interferes with young people's social, emotional, and intellectual development. It makes it harder for them to become autonomous adults who are able to navigate the bumpy road of life.

Lukianoff and Haidt investigate the many social trends that have intersected to promote the spread of these untruths. They explore changes in childhood such as the rise of fearful parenting, the decline of unsupervised, child-directed play, and the new world of social media that has engulfed teenagers in the last decade. They examine changes on campus, including the corporatization of universities and the emergence of new ideas about identity and justice. They situate the conflicts on campus within the context of America's rapidly rising political polarization and dysfunction.

This is a book for anyone who is confused by what is happening on college campuses today, or has children, or is concerned about the growing inability of Americans to live, work, and cooperate across party lines.

Overall great value and great diapers!
Size: Size 3, Unit Count: 104, Size: Size 3, Unit Count: 104
I’ve been using Huggies Snug & Dry diapers for a few months now, and overall, they’ve been a reliable choice for everyday use. The absorbency is definitely one of the standout features these diapers hold up well overnight and during longer outings without frequent leaks, which is a huge relief as a parent. One feature I really appreciate is the blowout barrier in the back it does a great job helping contain messes and has saved us from several outfit changes. If you’ve dealt with diaper blowouts before, you know how important that is! The fit is snug but comfortable, with stretchy sides that help keep everything in place without leaving marks on my baby’s skin. I also appreciate that they’re relatively lightweight and not too bulky under clothes. The wetness indicator is a helpful touch, especially during the newborn stage when diaper changes are frequent. That said, I have noticed that the material feels a bit less soft compared to some of the more premium diaper lines. It hasn’t caused irritation for us, but it’s something to keep in mind if your baby has very sensitive skin. Also, the designs are pretty basic functional, but not as cute as some other brands. For the price point, though, these diapers offer solid value. They’re dependable, widely available, and get the job done without breaking the bank. I’d recommend Huggies Snug & Dry to parents looking for an affordable, no-fuss diaper that performs well for daily use.

Great for the price
Size: Size 4, Unit Count: 92
We LOVE these diapers for our infant. He tends to have blowouts in many different diaper brands- especially the cheaper options. These diapers are good quality, especially for the reasonable price. We only buy these currently. I'd recommend these to any parent. They are especially soft.

Great for Pet Diapers Too!
Size: Size 1, Unit Count: 128
I have purchased these diapers several times for our special needs Cat. After purchasing one set of Pet diapers that cost a ridiculous amount of money for on,y 20 diapers and pay 25.00, I did what every other pet owner of dogs and cats do. Buy human diapers. Just for reference the size, small diapers in the pet version equals a size 1 in the human diapers The only thing you do is cut an upward slit on the back of the diaper that does not have the tape side. Place the slit just below the middle back part of diaper. I cut an inch or so slit. You don’t want the slit to be too big because you don’t want anything coming out of that part ha ha . You’re just using the slit to put the tail through. That’s it Works like a charm. Instead of paying $25 for 20 diapers in the pet version we pay $24-$28 for the Huggies version for 128 diapers. Big difference! I do not understand why all of the pet version supplements and other products are so much more expensive than the human version of the same exact product. I don’t understand why the pet companies charge so much but customers will go to other sources to get just as good of a product at a reasonable price. Thanks again Amazon and Huggies for providing a great product for our special needs cat!
