Description
The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness
Jonathan Haidt investigates the collapse in youth mental health, a public health emergency affecting Gen Z. The author explores how three technological and social changes - smartphones, social networks, and selfie culture - have contributed to this crisis. Haidt examines the four fundamental harms of the phone-based childhood: sleep deprivation, social deprivation, cognitive fragmentation, and addiction.
He also delves into the unique harms affecting boys and girls, revealing a complex picture of how our attempts to protect children in the real world have left them vulnerable in the online world. This thought-provoking book offers a scientifically proven path to health and strength, and is a worthwhile read for anyone concerned about the wellbeing of young people.
