Description

Jonathan Haidt investigates the surge in anxiety and mental health struggles among young people, tracing it to the shift from active, unstructured play to screen-dominated lives. He argues that smartphones and social media have disrupted childhood development, replacing real-world interactions with algorithm-driven content that fuels insecurity and isolation. The book critiques modern parenting and education systems for prioritizing safety over independence, weakening resilience. Haidt supports his claims with extensive research, showing how constant digital engagement harms emotional growth. Finally, he offers solutions to rebuild healthier environments for children, emphasizing unplugged play and balanced tech habits.
