THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A Wall Street Journal Top 10 Book of 2024 • A Washington Post Notable Book • A New York Times Notable Book • The Goodreads Choice Award Nonfiction Book of the YearA must-read for all parents: the generation-defining investigation into the collapse of youth mental health in the era of smartphones, social media, and big tech—and a plan for a healthier, freer childhood.“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.” —Shannon Carlin, ,i>TIME, 100 Must-Read Books of 2024After 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 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.

Something is going wrong on many college campuses in the last few years. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and afraid to speak honestly. How did this happen? First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and what doesn’t kill you makes you weaker; always trust your feelings; and life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths are incompatible with basic psychological principles, as well as ancient wisdom from many cultures. They interfere with healthy development. Anyone who embraces these untruths—and the resulting culture of safetyism—is less likely to become an autonomous adult able to navigate the bumpy road of life. Lukianoff and Haidt investigate the many social trends that have intersected to produce these untruths. They situate the conflicts on campus in the context of America’s rapidly rising political polarization, including a rise in hate crimes and off-campus provocation. They explore changes in childhood including the rise of fearful parenting, the decline of unsupervised play, and the new world of social media that has engulfed teenagers in the last decade. This is a book for anyone who is confused by what is happening on college campuses today, or has children, or is concerned about the growing inability of Americans to live, work, and cooperate across party lines.

Rozpieszczony umysł Celna diagnoza problemów, z którymi mierzy się współczesne społeczeństwo, a także próba znalezienia drogi wyjścia z tego kryzysu. W ciągu ostatnich kilku lat na uniwersytetach, i nie tylko, coś poszło w złą stronę. Mówcy są wykrzykiwani. Studenci i profesorowie mówią, że czują się, jakby chodzili po cienkim lodzie i boją się wypowiadać szczerze. Wzrasta liczba samobójstw i ludzi cierpiących na lęki i depresję. Jak do tego doszło? Prawy umysł Dlaczego tak chętnie dzielimy się na przeświadczone o własnej prawości wrogie grupy? Dlaczego jedni ludzie mają lewicowe poglądy, inni – konserwatywne, a jeszcze inni zostają libertarianami? Dlaczego niektórzy tak ochoczo podchwytują skandaliczne kłamstwa i teorie spiskowe? Moralność jest dla ludzkości nadzwyczajnym darem, który umożliwił powstanie cywilizacji, a jednocześnie przekleństwem, skazującym nas na nieustanne konflikty i podziały. W swojej znakomitej książce psycholog społeczny Jonathan Haidt rzuca wyzwanie konwencjonalnemu myśleniu o moralności, polityce i religii, analizuje genezę podziałów między ludźmi i wskazuje drogę ku wzajemnemu zrozumieniu. Pokazuje, dlaczego lewicowcy, konserwatyści i libertarianie mają tak różne intuicje na temat tego, co jest dobre, a co złe, i dlaczego każda ze stron ma rację, my zaś potrzebujemy wszystkich tych idei, aby osiągnąć sukces jako społeczeństwo. Niespokojne pokolenie Pokolenie Z stało się pierwszym pokoleniem w historii, które dorastało z urządzeniem w kieszeni odwracającym uwagę od otoczenia, a wciągającym do alternatywnego wszechświata, który był ekscytujący, uzależniający, niestabilny i – jak się okazało – niewłaściwy dla dzieci i młodzieży
