#107 - Is Too Much Therapy Ruining a Generation?

At 3am, tossing and turning in your bed, have you ever wondered why this generation is full of a bunch of fragile sissies? Journalist Abigail Shrier has, and her answer is: Therapy. Too much God d\*\** therapy. Is she right? Ben and Vaden read her 2024 book on the subject, *Bad Therapy*, and discuss it, including the good, the bad, and the preposterous footnotes. Buy the book here https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593542924 and check out the rest of Shrier's work here https://www.abigailshrier.com/. We discuss - Iatrogenesis and whether there are negative side effects of therapy - Why overly focusing on your feelings can lead to unhappiness - Should kids be asked about suicidal ideation? - Some problems with Shrier's analysis - For God's sale, are kids fragile, or are they not?
