ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Jonathan Haidt's "The Anxious Generation" delves into the alarming surge of mental health issues among adolescents who grew up in the age of smartphones and social media. The book posits that this crisis stems from a significant shift in childhood experiences, characterized by excessive parental caution in the physical world coupled with insufficient safeguards in the digital realm. Haidt examines how the decline of free play and the pervasive influence of online platforms have fundamentally altered child development, contributing to increased anxiety and depression. Drawing on social psychology, the author analyzes these trends and proposes collective action from various sectors to foster a healthier upbringing for the next generation.
