<b>A game-changer for society . . . </b>The statistics that Haidt offers are<b> jaw-dropping . . . </b>although this book is about young people, it will resonate with many of us . . . <b>I can’t recommend this book highly enough; everyone should read it</b>

- Stella O’Malley, Irish Independent

<b>A book of devastating observations </b>. . . his data is<b> startling</b> . . . <b>robust scientific evidence</b> for what we've all come to assume is true . . . it's the <b>sheer scale of harm depicted here</b> that should galvanise us

- Simon Ings, Spectator

Forget horror; this is <b>one of the most terrifying books I have read </b>. . . some of the statistics Haidt quotes are <b>truly shocking</b> . . . a <b>persuasive </b>and <b>rousing </b>argument

- Anna Davis, Evening Standard

If <b>this important book</b> rings enough alarms to make politicians impose a genuine social media ban on children, I believe <b>most parents would be happy and most teenagers happier</b>

The Times, Book of the Week

<b>Urgent and essential</b> . . . it ought to become <b>a foundational text for the growing movement to keep smartphones out of schools</b>, and young children off social media

- Sophie McBain, Guardian

<b>Lucid</b>, <b>memorable</b>, <b>galvanizing</b>

- Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal

<b>Erudite, engaging, crusading</b>

- Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, New York Times Book Review

THE NO.1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ‘Jonathan Haidt is a modern-day prophet, disguised as a psychologist . . . He points the way forward to a brighter, stronger future for us all’ Susan Cain'Compelling, readable – and incredibly chilling . . . remarkably persuasive' Telegraph'Urgent and essential' Guardian'One of the most terrifying books I have read . . . some of the statistics Haidt quotes are truly shocking' Evening StandardAfter more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents in many countries around the world deteriorated suddenly in the early 2010s. Why have rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide risen so sharply, more than doubling in many cases?In this book, Social Psychologist Jonathan Haidt argues that the decline of free-play in childhood and the rise of smartphone usage among adolescents are the twin sources of increased mental distress among teenagers.Haidt delves into the latest psychological and biological research to show how, between 2010 and 2015, childhood and adolescence got rewired. As teens traded in their flip phones for smartphones packed with social media apps, time online soared while time engaging face-to-face with friends and family plummeted, and so did mental health. This profound shift took place against a backdrop of diminishing childhood freedom, as parents over-supervised every aspect of their children’s lives offline, depriving them of the experiences they most need to become strong and self-governing adults.The Anxious Generation reveals the fundamental ways in which this shift from free-play to smartphones disrupts development – from sleep deprivation to addiction – with separate in-depth analyses of the impact on girls and boys. Grounded in ancient wisdom and packed full of cutting-edge science, this eye-opening book is a life raft and a powerful call-to-arms, offering practical advice for parents, schools, governments, and teens themselves.
