Here’s a great read - One Nation Under Therapy: How the Helping Culture is Eroding Self-Reliance

Perhaps it will give some much needed context to a victimization culture. Our country is certainly not stronger as a result of the humanistic teachings of Maslow and Carl Rogers that permeate the modern psychology movement today.

For what it’s worth, I have a severely disabled son who dispite his disease (9 surgeries and 30+ fractures as recent as yesterday) does not see himself through the lens of his disease. You’d be the one more likely to ask him what’s wrong with him rather than him volunteering that he has MAS. How often to I hear “I’m ADD, or ADHD, or Dyslexic, or this or that” and that’s why I can’t....

I’m not for a minute saying that everyone who claims to have these “diseases” is that overt, but as a small business employer, you cannot imagine how many of the younger generation have some “disability”.

Thank goodness no one diagnosed Chuck Yeager as ADD, ADHD etc. Perhaps we would never have known we could safely break the sound barrier. I’m quite sure he was a handful when he was a young boy.
