[BKK AUSTRALIA PTY LTD] The Anxious Generation: How the Digital Age Is Damaging Our Kids

"The Anxious Generation," a new book by world-renowned social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, is creating a buzz worldwide. Haidt, who rose to prominence as "the most controversial scholar in the English-speaking world" with his bestseller "The Righteous Mind," makes the shocking claim that smartphones, social media, and the internet are causing a mental health crisis in adolescents. The book immediately became a #1 bestseller on Amazon, a New York Times bestseller, and a Sunday Times bestseller upon its publication, sparking a global debate on smartphone and SNS regulation for teenagers.
How do social media, online pornography, addictive games, and provocative content reshape the sensitive and vulnerable brains of children? How much do overprotective parenting and helicopter parents amplify the harms caused by smartphones? Based on extensive data and research, Haidt reveals the mechanism by which "overprotection in the real world and underprotection in the virtual world" sickens children's brains. He then clearly outlines the path our society must take to restore a healthier and happier childhood.

"The best gift we can give our children is a childhood based in real reality." _Jonathan Haidt
