Product description:
Dive into the crucial discourse on modern youth mental health with The Anxious Generation paperback—a #1 New York Times Bestseller. Spanning 385 pages, this work by renowned social psychologist Jonathan Haidt delves deep into how the digital revolution—smartphones, social media, and big tech—has reshaped childhood, triggering a widespread mental health crisis among adolescents.
Acclaimed as a TIME 100 Must-Read, a Wall Street Journal Top 10 Book of 2024, and the Goodreads Choice Award Nonfiction Book of the Year, it's more than just a book—it's a wake-up call. Haidt meticulously examines the sharp decline in teen well-being since the early 2010s: from soaring rates of anxiety and depression to the rise of self-harm. He uncovers the fundamental aspects of childhood—like unstructured play and real-world exploration—that are being sidelined in the digital age, and offers a practical roadmap to foster healthier, more resilient upbringings.
Perfect for parents striving to navigate the digital parenting maze, educators shaping young minds, and anyone invested in the future of youth, this paperback's portable size (7.87in x 5.12in x 1.3in) makes it ideal for on-the-go reading—be it during your commute, at book clubs, or quiet evenings at home. Join the movement to safeguard the next generation's mental health and understand the profound impact of the digital age on childhood with The Anxious Generation.
