In The Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt delivers a compelling and urgent investigation into the dramatic decline in adolescent mental health, now a #1 New York Times bestseller.
As smartphones and social media have become fixtures in the lives of teens, rates of depression, anxiety, and self-harm have skyrocketed, particularly among girls.
Haidt traces the roots of this mental health crisis back to the shift from a play-based childhood in the 1980s to a phone-based childhood in the 2010s, uncovering how big tech has rewired the way children develop socially and neurologically. With chilling clarity, Haidt breaks down the damaging effects of constant screen time, from sleep disruption and attention fragmentation to social comparison and perfectionism. More than just a diagnosis of a generational crisis, The Anxious Generation provides parents, educators, and policymakers with actionable steps to combat this epidemic and reclaim childhood from the grip of technology. A must-read for anyone concerned about the future of youth mental health, Haidt’s book is both a wake-up call and a roadmap to a healthier, more balanced future for our children.
