Acclaimed psychologist Jonathan Haidt reveals how the decline of free-play in childhood and the rise of smartphone use among adolescents is changing our world

As the 2010s saw the rise of social media apps and the decline of flip phones, adolescents spent more unsupervised time online and had less face-to-face interactions with loved ones. This change coincided with the decrease of childhood independence and increase of adult supervision, depriving children of crucial experiences for becoming independent adults with self-governing skills.

Find out more about the impact of the shift from free-play to smartphones on development, including sleep deprivation and addiction, and how it contributes to today's society's isolation and fear. This informative book is based on ancient wisdom and backed by the most up-to-date science, offering practical advice and insight into the challenges of navigating human relationships and consciousness in a rapidly changing technological landscape.
