Read for work. I can see why this was (is?) a best-seller. The science is definitely flawed, but it *feels* true, which is why it appeals. The author for sure made some claims and then dug around for studies to support. I did really like Chapter 3, in which he talks about "safetyism" and how parenting styles have contributed to social anxiety in children. If I sat next to the author at a dinner party, I would leave.
