I just finished reading One Nation Under Therapy, and it speaks to a belief I feel very strongly about. Its main point is that people are stronger and more resilant than we think they are today. This book talks a lot about how therapy has been forced onto people now as opposed to being available to them. They use Columbine and 911 as examples where counselors were forced onto people instead of just being available if needed. They assumed that people obviously needed therapy becuase these situations were tragic and no way could people able to process it themselves.
The funniest chapters are on how kids today are taught in schools to talk about their feelings all the time, and how everyone should protect the childs self esteem. These authors laugh at these teachings and once again mention that children are stronger than we make them out to be.
