The Anxious Generation

Description

The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt is a powerful and timely investigation into why today’s children and teenagers are experiencing unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and mental health struggles. Drawing on cutting-edge research in psychology, neuroscience, and sociology, Haidt explains how changes in parenting, education, and especially the rise of smartphones and social media have reshaped childhood—and not for the better.

Haidt explores the shift from a “play-based childhood” to a “phone-based childhood,” showing how this transformation affects emotional development, resilience, and social skills. With clear solutions for parents, educators, and policymakers, he offers a path toward creating healthier environments where young people can thrive again.

Insightful, urgent, and backed by deep research, The Anxious Generation is essential reading for anyone concerned about the well-being of the next generation.
