The Effects of Good Intentions and Bad Ideas on the Immune System
The subtitle of our book is how good intentions and bad ideas are setting up a generation for failure.

If you deprive them of adversity, if you protect them, they don't have a chance to fill out. The rise in suicide and anxiety and depression is so sharp in the US, the UK, Canada and Ireland. And I think there's some trends in Australia, but I'm not certain yet.
