Summary Note "After more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents in many countries around the world deteriorated suddenly in the early 2010s. Why? Social Psychologist Jonathan Haidt argues that the decline of free-play in childhood and the rise of smartphone usage among adolescents are the twin sources of increased mental distress among teenagers - from sleep deprivation to addiction. Grounded in ancient wisdom and packed full of the latest psychological and biological research, this eye-opening book is a life raft for parents, schools, governments, and teens themselves." - Back cover.
