Something shifted in the early 2010s. Rates of anxiety, depression, and self-harm among young people suddenly spiked—and no one could quite explain why. Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist and bestselling author, believes he’s found the answer: the phone-based childhood.
In The Anxious Generation, Haidt weaves together groundbreaking research, compelling data, and deeply human stories to reveal how the rapid shift from play-based childhoods to screen-saturated lives has reshaped an entire generation. He explores the profound effects of social media, constant connectivity, and the loss of unstructured outdoor play—and makes a powerful case for why we need to act now.
This isn’t just a book about technology. It’s about childhood, mental health, community, and what we owe the next generation. Haidt offers practical, evidence-based solutions that parents, educators, and policymakers can implement to help young people reclaim their well-being.
