Everyone is talking about this book by social psychologist Jonathan Haidt. Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness and investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how “play-based childhood” has evolved to “phone-based childhood” and offers four simple rules for parents, teachers, schools, tech companies, and governments to restore a more humane childhood.
