About This Book
Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt argues that the mass adoption of smartphones and social media by children and adolescents around 2012 triggered an epidemic of anxiety, depression, and loneliness among Generation Z. Drawing on research from multiple disciplines, Haidt identifies four fundamental changes in childhood and calls for urgent collective action by parents, schools, governments, and technology companies.
