Description

THE NO.1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER A TIMES, FT, ECONOMIST AND INDEPENDENT BOOK OF THE YEARBoundlessly wise . . . important and engrossing The New York TimesOne of the most important books Ive read . . . Its absolutely brilliant Dr Rangan ChatterjeeUrgent and essential GuardianAcclaimed psychologist Jonathan Haidt reveals how the decline of freeplay in childhood and the rise of smartphone use among adolescents is changing our worldFrom 2010, as teens traded in their flip phones for smartphones packed with social media apps, unsupervised time online soared while facetoface conversations with friends and family plummeted, and so did mental health. This profound shift took place against a backdrop of diminishing childhood freedom and oversupervision in the real world, depriving children of the experiences they most need to become strong and selfgoverning adults.The Anxious Generation delves into the latest research to show how this shift from freeplay to smartphones disrupts development from sleep deprivation to addiction and lays the foundations of isolation and fear that define society today. Grounded in ancient wisdom and packed full of cuttingedge science and practical advice, this eyeopening book is a liferaft for anyone who wants to understand how the most rapid rewiring of human relationships and consciousness in human history has made it harder for all of us to think, focus, forget ourselves enough to care about others and build close relationships.
