The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt - Book Summary Podcast

  • サマリー

  • This book explores the alarming rise in mental illness among young people, born after 1995, dubbed "The Anxious Generation," and argues that it is largely due to the radical shift from a "play-based childhood" to a "phone-based childhood." The author, drawing on his expertise in moral and political psychology and his experiences as a professor, examines this phenomenon through a social science lens.


    The book posits that overprotection in the real world, coupled with underprotection in the virtual world, are the main drivers of this mental health crisis. While parents increasingly shield children from real-world risks, they often fail to protect them from the harms of the digital world. This shift from a childhood filled with unsupervised outdoor play to one dominated by smartphones and social media has significant consequences.
