Reviews

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 don't have to apply spin to be convincing...Well-written, well-informed public affairs argumentation. -- Booklist 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
