Overview

In this compelling and urgent work, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the dramatic rise in adolescent mental health issues that began in the early 2010s—a phenomenon he attributes to the "Great Rewiring of Childhood." Haidt argues that the convergence of two significant shifts—the decline of unsupervised, play-based childhood and the rise of smartphone-centric, screen-based experiences—has fundamentally altered the developmental landscape for young people.

Haidt presents a wealth of data illustrating the surge in anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide among adolescents, particularly since the widespread adoption of smartphones and social media platforms. He contends that this digital immersion has disrupted essential aspects of youth development, including sleep, attention, socialization, and resilience. The book delves into how these changes have disproportionately affected girls, who are more susceptible to the negative impacts of social media, and boys, who face challenges related to gaming and online content consumption.

Ideal for:

  • Educators and school administrators seeking to understand and address student mental health challenges
  • Librarians and program leaders developing resources on digital literacy and well-being
  • Parents and caregivers looking for research-based guidance on technology use
  • Policy makers and child advocates focused on youth mental health initiatives

Key Themes: Adolescent mental health, digital technology, social media, childhood development, collective action, educational policy

The Anxious Generation is a critical resource for anyone invested in the health and future of young people in our increasingly digital world.

 
An essential read for anyone working with today’s youth, this eye-opening book reveals how social media and screen time have reshaped childhood—and offers actionable steps to help kids reclaim balance.
