Why people recommend it

Therapy Nation by Jonathan Alpert explores how America became overly reliant on therapy and how that dependence has left the population more anxious and divided. On The Megyn Kelly Show, host Megyn Kelly recommended the book to her audience at the conclusion of an interview, noting that it effectively exposes fake disorders and examines societal divisions. During their conversation, Kelly reminded listeners of the full title, Therapy Nation: How America Got Hooked on Therapy and Why It's Left Us More Anxious and Divided. She brought up the book a second time to discuss specific topics covered inside its pages, highlighting how the author analyzes political phenomena such as Trump Derangement Syndrome and how excessive therapeutic culture contributes to widespread ideological polarization. Kelly praised the text for challenging mainstream psychological trends and encouraged her viewers to check it out for themselves.
