Haidt, Jonathan - The Anxious Generation (Hardback)

In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt examines the alarming rise in adolescent mental health issues, linking them to the pervasive influence of smartphones, social media, and overprotective parenting. He delves into the decline of play-based childhoods and the emergence of a "phone-based" upbringing, arguing that these shifts have "rewired" the experiences of young people, leading to increased rates of anxiety, depression, and self-harm. Haidt not only analyzes the factors contributing to this crisis but also offers actionable solutions for parents, educators, and policymakers to foster healthier childhood development in the digital era.
