ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Anxious Generation” by Jonathan Haidt explores the profound impact of modern technology, particularly smartphones and social media, on the mental health of today’s youth. Haidt examines how the shift from a play-based childhood to a phone-based childhood has led to a rise in anxiety, depression, and social isolation among adolescents. He discusses the role of technology in disrupting key developmental processes, such as emotional regulation and social interaction. With a focus on the cultural, psychological, and societal implications, Haidt calls for a balanced approach to childhood development in order to reverse the growing mental health crisis.
