“With tenacity and candor, Haidt lays out the consequences that have come with allowing kids to drift further into the virtual world . . . While also offering suggestions and solutions that could help protect a new generation of kids.” —Time

After more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents plunged in the early 2010s. Rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rose sharply, more than doubling on many measures. Why?

In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt (pronounced "height") lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the “play-based childhood” began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the “phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this “great rewiring of childhood” has interfered with children’s social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing from the real world into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies.

Most important, Haidt issues a clear call to action. He diagnoses the “collective action problems” that trap us, and then proposes four simple rules that might set us free. He describes steps that parents, teachers, schools, tech companies, and governments can take to end the epidemic of mental illness and restore a more humane childhood.

Haidt has spent his career speaking truth backed by data in the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the public health emergency faced by Gen Z. We cannot afford to ignore his findings about protecting our children—and ourselves—from the psychological damage of a phone-based life.

Als Eltern hat man sich ja schon gelegentlich gefragt, warum einem die eigene Kindheit in den frühen 90ern so ganz anders in Erinnerung ist als die Kindheit des eigenen Nachwuchs heute.

Dieses Buch fasst viele Entwicklungen zusammen, gibt konkrete Hinweise, was man tun kann und ist dabei gut geschrieben. Dringende Kaufempfehlung für... Naja, eigentlich jede*n unter 50.

Tolles und wichtiges Buch

Great book! Every parent should be aware of the risks and dangers of social media and how to tackle them! Policy changes and collective actions should be employed.

Every parent should read this

Ditch the phone, ditch the supervision, let kids be kids even if it means they hurt themselves

Free play is important

I agree on most of the arguments and think all the research is so valuable and interesting. But as a male scientist you can’t claim that it is horrendous that children are taught to be afraid of strangers, „especially men“, while male violence is on the rise, femicides are on the rise, the manosphere gains more and more fans (which is one factor of the violent behaviour of boys and men towards children and women - and of course just everyone who is not a dude, also a cause of social media) and the numbers are talking for itself (96-98% of r@p!sts are men). It just shows some kind of ignorance concerning the reality of women and children, especially as a scientist who is capable of doing some research and not just count in his own experiences. Good for you that you don’t have to be afraid of male strangers. Women and children have to be to stay safe in this day and age. And since the most dangerous place for them is their own home, they don’t just have to be afraid of the strangers.

Overall a good read

Both reasonable analysis and practical advice. Probably not the full story of the youth mental health crisis, but certainly a substantial piece of it. Great focus on the scientific testability of the reform proposals.

Great book
