Book Discussion on 'The Anxious Generation' by Jonathan Haidt

The digital age has brought unprecedented challenges to childhood, and in 'The Anxious Generation', author Jonathan Haidt argues that the rapid spread of smartphones, social media, and overprotective parenting has led to a profound shift in the way children grow up. In this episode of Bookmark, Ashish and Adarsh take a deep dive into Haidt’s work, exploring how the decline of play-based childhoods and the dominance of digital connectivity have contributed to the growing mental health crisis among teens and young adults. Their discussion makes these critical ideas more accessible, shedding light on the unseen effects of modern parenting and technology.
