Description

Nominated for the Skroutz Book Awards 2025.

Why are so many children and teenagers today suffering mentally? A harsh truth – and what we can do about it.

Anxiety, depression, and suicidal tendencies are rapidly increasing among younger generations. Why? Jonathan Haidt, a leading social psychologist, studies the “collapse of childhood” and argues that overprotective parenting and social media create a world where children cannot handle their own emotions. The book is a wake-up call for parents, educators, and every adult who cares.

This book is for you if...

  • Are you a parent, educator, or mental health professional
  • Are you concerned about the increase in anxiety, withdrawal, and distress in children and adolescents
  • Do you want to understand the role of technology, parental overprotection, and social disconnection
  • Are you looking for solutions based on data – not just opinions

What will this book offer you?

With numerous studies, real data, and strong social commentary, the book reveals how childhood was "deregulated", what consequences this has for mental health – and how we can rebuild children's resilience through play, autonomy, and connection with the real world.

Inside the book you will find:

  • Analyses of how excessive screen use affects mental development
  • How adult overprotectiveness hinders emotional maturity
  • The social and educational systems that strengthen or reduce resilience
  • Data on the rapid rise of depression, self-harm, and social withdrawal in girls and boys
  • Specific policy and family practice proposals for a new beginning

The opinion of the experts

“The most important book written about the new generation and its mental collapse. All parents should read it.”
– The Atlantic
“Haidt not only identifies the problem – he gives us the tools to fix it. A work of deep social significance.”
– New York Times Book Review

Read an excerpt

“We have removed children from play, adventure, and real social interaction. We have confined them to a digital environment that weakens them mentally.”
“The anxious generation is not weak. It is the product of a world that deprived it of the opportunity to become strong.”

About the Author

Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist, professor at New York University, and is globally recognized for his work on emotional development, morality, and the shaping of thriving societies. "The Anxious Generation" is a continuation of his landmark work and marks one of the most urgent interventions for the future of our children.
