The Anxious Generation: A Conversation with Jonathan Haidt
In this very engaging conversation, Jonathan Haidt, Professor of Ethical Leadership at the Stern School in New York, discusses his latest book “The Anxious Generation” where he goes into the significant impact digital devices and social media have on the younger generation, particularly the broader implications of technology on children's development, mental health, and social interactions. Highlighting four foundational rules for healthier childhoods, Haidt emphasizes the urgent need for collective action among parents, schools, and governments to mitigate the adverse effects of a digital upbringing and restore a play-based, real-world childhood that fosters resilience and social competence.

    I feel for you Charles 😥 I too was sexually abused at 3 and a half and was assaulted at just turning 14.

You inspire me. Thankyou 🙏🙏🙏

    I think smart phone free schools and not having a smart phone or a social media account until 14 or so but I also think that for some young people access to social media is essential for their mental health but I guess having better access to mental health services or support might be part of it;its difficult as I think for some young people who feel so at odds with their immediate social environment or a lack of peer support or a tribe need to find that online sometimes..like lgbtq or others who simply do not fit in easily to their social milieu. I would love to see how this plays out in schools and what effects can be measured of these provisos are picked up by school,the fact that schools allow phones at school is rediculous.

I can feel your pain and resonate with a lot of what you describe from my own grief journey. Julia, you are amazing and thank you for your work.

    @Wise-Lady-La-Aura Před 8 dny

    I think the children and adult children take the death of their parents very hard. I lost my husband two months ago, but he was battling cancer for over 5 years, and he suffered so much for so long, it was as relief to see him out of his pain and suffering. Our kids are still having a difficult time with it, but I am at peace. I cried a lot over the past few years, but when we brought hospice in, and I had to take daily care of him, with all the equipment and the nurses coming and going, it was not pleasant, but I was pleasant to him and ran myself ragged for the past few years. When death comes slowly, over a long time, it wears you out. I believe when a death is sudden, untimely and out of the blue, it’s more difficult for the loved ones. I am done crying and I am at peace. I still wish my mother, father, grandfather and brother were alive, but we all must accept life as it is and find our happiness within. I am looking forward to each new day again, accepting life as it is, and grateful for every thing. It is the ancient stoic wisdom for peace and happiness.

    My mom died of lung cancer with 4 months to live without treatment and 2 yrs with treatment at age 52. I Had suffered my fathers grandparents losses a year prior to finding out only 4 months apart due malpractice and broken heart syndrome for my nana. We moved into their house and after my mom died almost to the date of the 2 years with treatment. I talked about it for a year in every conversation. Not realizing it until friends had told me so. Many deaths came after as well. Not including multiple overdoses of friends and acquaintances. It was very hard and even though i did shed tears. It wasn't enough.

    I found this very helpful. I lost my partner in January this year. He was just 41. II feel traumatised too. He was also the love of my life. My heart breaks for Annabel and her family. I also found some of the medical staff very unsympathetic. I was in the hospital the week my partner died, sitting in a chair. I hadnt sleep or eaten anything for days. My Dad was so worried about me one night that he convinced me to go home to try and sleep and shower. As I left the room, the nurse kept questioning how I could leave and pulling faces at me. At that stage we didnt know how long he had and my family were concerned that I couldn't carry on without sleep for another week. She made me feel so awful that I didnt sleep and I still berate myself for leaving now. He died 3 days later.

    Thank you for this incredibly moving interview. Congratulations. I am dreadfully sorry Charles, that you had to endure such isolation and neglect as a child, and the trauma of abuse as well. I know for myself the numbness and deep emotional corruption experienced when there is nobody to protect or support one, as a child growing up. I am the same generation as you, and have only realised recently, that the majority of our parents were incapable of giving more than they did. I also believe that it wasn’t just private schools that were full of brutality. State school pupils also suffered at the hands of perverted staff and that life at home was often not any better. Thankfully we have evolved a little and I hope your story will help many others who suffered in the same way. It is most inspiring to hear that you have worked hard at healing so successfully.
