❤️ loved this book because...
it made me realize how our society believes and subsequently is raising the younger generation to believe in 3 "Untruths."
They are the untruths of Fragility, Emotional Reasoning, and an "Us vs. Them."
They also analyze why these untruths are a problem and how these untruths contrast with a) ancient wisdom of many cultures, b) modern psychology research on well-being, and c) how it harms individuals and communities (through policies and political movements) that embrace these untruths.
I can see exactly how this is playing out in our society today.
