Generation Angst

"Generation Angst" by Jonathan Haidt explores the impact of the digital revolution on the mental health of Generation Z. In the early 2010s, smartphones, social media, and the selfie culture shaped the upbringing of young people. Haidt analyzes how these changes led to a significant deterioration in mental well-being. Through extensive data and research findings, he demonstrates that constant digital connectivity radically altered interpersonal relationships and hindered the development of children and adolescents. The book not only provides a critical analysis but also offers solutions for governments, schools, and parents to address the challenges of the digital world and promote healthy development.
