In this powerful and eye-opening summary of The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt unpacks one of the biggest challenges facing modern families: the mental health crisis among young people. Drawing on years of research, Haidt reveals how smartphones, social media, and constant screen time have quietly transformed childhood—leading to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness.
