The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt investigates the 'great rewiring of childhood' that occurred with the rise of the smartphone and social media. Haidt details how the transition from a play-based childhood to a phone-based childhood has resulted in an epidemic of mental illness among teenagers. The book provides actionable advice for parents, schools, and tech companies to help restore a healthier developmental environment for children, emphasizing the need for more real-world play and less digital consumption.
The anxious generation was the one about media.
