The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness

The Anxious Generation investigates how smartphones, social media, reduced independence, and the decline of play-based childhood may be affecting young people’s mental health. Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt traces the shift toward a phone-based childhood and examines its consequences for development, attention, relationships, and wellbeing.

The book also presents practical recommendations for parents, schools, communities, and policymakers who want to create healthier conditions for children and teenagers.
