Acclaimed psychologist Jonathan Haidt reveals how the decline of
free-play in childhood and the rise of smartphone use among adolescents
is changing our world
From 2010, as teens traded in their flip phones for smartphones packed
with social media apps, unsupervised time online soared while
face-to-face conversations with friends and family plummeted, and so
did mental health. This profound shift took place against a backdrop of
diminishing childhood freedom and over-supervision in the real world,
depriving children of the experiences they most need to become strong
and self-governing adults.
The Anxious Generation delves into the latest research to show how this
shift from free-play to smartphones disrupts development – from sleep
deprivation to addiction – and lays the foundations of isolation and
fear that define society today. Grounded in ancient wisdom and packed
full of cutting-edge science and practical advice, this eye-opening
book is a life-raft for anyone who wants to understand how the most
rapid rewiring of human relationships and consciousness in human
history has made it harder for all of us to think, focus, forget
ourselves enough to care about others and build close relationships.
