The Anxious Generation How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness

I bet when you think of Gen Z and search for an explanation on why they are so depressed and anxious, you always come to the conclusion that it must be because of their phones. But do you ever go further than that. Because yes phones play a big role, but Jonathan Haidt explains exactly why that is. He also talks about potential ways to dampen the consequences of phone use and how we all can take part in that. In my opinion, this book should be required to be read in every school, for every teacher, every student, and every parent. We went into the era of social media way to blindly, and it shows in the wellbeing of our generation. Basically, we should all put our phones away more and touch some grass.
