About this episode
Anxiety up 134% in last 15 years while depression is up 106% (in U.S. undergrads)...what's happening?! This disturbing trend is isolated to younger generations...but not older ones, why? In today's episode, Mark and Jeff review Jonathan Haidt's latest book, The Anxious Generation. Haidt makes the case that there has been a rewiring of Gen Z through parental over-protection from the real world and under-protection from the virtual world. As a result, we've created four foundational harms: 1) social deprivation, 2) sleep deprivation, 3) attention fragmentation, and 4) addiction. Tune in and learn about ways we can turn this alarming trend around!
