La transformación de la mente moderna
How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure
Greg Lukianoff - 2018-09-04
Calificación de Goodreads
Algo extraño está sucediendo en las universidades de todo el mundo. Alumnos que dicen defender ideas progresistas abuchean a políticos y conferenciantes y les impiden hablar. Cada vez en mayor número, muchos estudiantes son reacios a exhibir sus opiniones y a discutirlas con franqueza. De un tiempo a esta parte, lo que debería ser el «gimnasio de la mente» está lleno de personas que rehúyen el debate y el pensamiento crítico. Tal y como describen en este libro el experto en libertad de expresión Greg Lukianoff y el psicólogo Jonathan Haidt, el motivo de tal situación se debe a tres ideas equivocadas que se han introducido en el subconsciente de muchos jóvenes, y no tan jóvenes, que creen defender una visión generosa e inclusiva de la educación. La primera: lo que no te mata te hace más débil. La segunda: debes confiar siempre en tus sentimientos. Y, por último: la vida es una lucha entre las personas buenas y las malas. Como demuestra este libro osado y erudito, estas nociones, que pueden parecer beneficiosas porque protegen al individuo y halagan sus propios instintos, en rea-lidad contradicen los principios psicológicos básicos sobre el bienestar. Abrazar estas falsedades, y con ello propugnar una cultura de la seguridad en la que nadie quiere escuchar argumentos que no le gustan, interfiere con el desarrollo social, emocional e intelectual de los jóvenes. Y les hace más difícil recorrer el camino, con frecuencia complejo y tortuoso, de la vida adulta. O, en palabras del propio Haidt: «Muchos jóvenes nacidos después de 1995, los que han ido llegando a las universidades a partir de 2013, son frágiles, hipersus-ceptibles y maniqueos. No están preparados para encarar la vida, que es conflicto, ni la democracia, que es debate. Van de cabeza al fracaso.»

A wonderful book, but the response to the damage that we have done to children over the last two years is not that they are coddled. Especially not when it is coming in response to policies that impact their emotional development.      fuente

Educar sin mitos ni complicaciones
Una guía rigurosa para aprender a tomar decisiones sin miedo a equivocarse
Emily Oster - 2019-04-09
Calificación de Goodreads
Educar sin mitos ni complicaciones ofrece una serie de datos contrastados que te permitirán tomar mejores decisiones en la crianza de tus hijos. A partir de la llegada del bebé, los padres deben afrontar un sinfín de elecciones sobre lactancia, vacunas, horarios para dormir… y, en general, cuentan con un montón de información, muchas veces contradictoria, que les proporcionan amigos, familiares, médicos y hasta blogs en Internet. Esta situación puede generar mucho estrés, ya que a menudo no saben qué elegir ni a quién creer. Para solucionar este problema que ella misma vivió como madre, la galardonada economista Emily Oster decidió indagar sobre los temas que generan más dudas entre los padres y recogió todas sus conclusiones en estas páginas llenas de valiosos datos contrastados. Entre sus descubrimientos está la desmitificación de la lactancia materna, la elección del mejor método para dormir a los niños o para que dejen el pañal y la verdad sobre la relación entre la inteligencia y el desarrollo del lenguaje, además de una gran variedad de consejos sobre cómo reincorporarse al trabajo y cómo ser padres y pareja al mismo tiempo. En definitiva, esta es una guía rigurosa y actualizada sobre crianza para que los padres primerizos se sientan más seguros a la hora de tomar decisiones, lo que les permitirá vivir esta etapa de una forma mucho más relajada.

And that’s a whole other conversation; the very questionable benefits of breastfeeding. I recommend @ProfEmilyOster ‘s book on this subject especially. And given the wider conversation; maybe she could free up that chapter on her substack?      fuente

This Pulitzer Prize-winning historical biography covers the extraordinary life of Frederick Douglass, the most important African-American of the nineteenth century.

This book is obscenely long and sometimes dragged. But at the end when you find out Grant had chosen Union and Confederate generals to be his pallbearers, I cried. He was a great American.      fuente
