The Anxious Generation
Buy this book here, and contribute to girls’ education worldwide (how that works):
Haidt argues that a profound shift in childhood began around 2010, driven by the rise of smartphones and social media. This “great rewiring” has reshaped the way kids grow up — replacing play, independence, and real-world social interaction with screens, constant surveillance, and digital performance. It resulted in a sharp rise in anxiety, depression, self-harm, and loneliness among teens — especially girls — across the Western world.
