About This Book

Jonathan Haidt examines the collapse of youth mental health that began in the early 2010s, identifying the transition from play-based to phone-based childhoods as a primary cause. The book analyzes the neurological and social impact of smartphones and social media while providing a set of actionable rules for parents and schools to restore childhood independence.
