Reviews
"Sommers and Satel's book is a summons to the sensible worry that national enfeeblement must result when 'therapism' replaces the virtues on which the republic was founded-stoicism, self-reliance, and courage."
Washington Post
"A gauntlet-throwing assessment…certain to spark reflection and conversation."
Kirkus Reviews
"[Sommers and Satel] review the relevant literature, letting its conclusions speak for themselves…they dont have to apply spin to be convincing…Well-written, well-informed public affairs argumentation."
