The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt

Self Help
Written By Charan Bashir

The Anxious Generation argues that the rapid shift from a play-based childhood to a phone-based, screen-saturated upbringing has profoundly disrupted young people’s emotional development, contributing to rising anxiety, depression, and fragility. Haidt weaves psychological research and cultural analysis to show how overprotection in the real world and underprotection online have reshaped a generation— and offers a case for restoring autonomy, play, and resilience.
