This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. In The Anxious Generation, acclaimed social psychologist and best-selling author Jonathan Haidt delivers a groundbreaking and urgent exploration of one of the most critical issues facing young people today: the mental health crisis driven by the rise of smartphones and social media. With a sharp blend of research, insight, and cultural analysis, Haidt traces how the “great rewiring of childhood” — the rapid shift from play-based, real-world experiences to screen-centered, online engagement — has led to skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and self-harm, especially among teens. Drawing from decades of psychological research and global data, Haidt reveals the four foundational harms that screen-based childhoods have introduced: social isolation, sleep deprivation, distorted development, and reduced resilience. But The Anxious Generation doesn’t just diagnose the problem — it offers a clear, practical roadmap for change. From empowering parents and educators to reshape norms around phone use, to advocating for policy changes that protect children’s well-being, Haidt challenges all of us to rethink what a healthy childhood should look like in the digital age. Whether you're a parent, teacher, policymaker, or simply someone concerned about the future of younger generations, this book is an essential read. It’s a wake-up call and a guide to reclaiming a childhood rooted in connection, growth, and real-world learning. Disclaimer: This is not the official summary of The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. It is a complementary description created to highlight key ideas and themes from the book and should be read alongside the original work for a complete understanding.
