A 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, TIME, 100 Must-Read Books of 2024
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 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.

Yewah, it sucks. It started with the death of Saturday morning cartoons due to ridiculous mandates for educational kids’ television, then public schools getting rid of recess. It just seems like the adults in charge of such things don’t want children to be children, just underage adults…and with the grooming that’s going on in schools, we can see WHY. There is a grade (high school) at which teens are given sex ed in Health class, but “queer” teachers want to teach lgbt sexuality to literal pre-adolescent children. Leave the kids alone, let them be kids, watch cartoons, and play.

I’m old, but I have a bunch of nephews and nieces and a couple of them have it very bad. You want to help, but there is nothing you can do. In addition I can see it weigh so heavily upon my brother, who has to watch his daughter suffer so much.
It all just breaks my heart.

“Rewiring” is a terrible metaphor.

@Thamus, you could be right! Metaphors play a pivotal role in shaping our perspectives and catalyzing our understanding of subjects. But please elaborate - I’d like to know what you are thinking.
