The Anxious Generation, a #1 NYT Bestseller
In The Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt explores the alarming rise in mental health struggles among adolescents, with a particular focus on the harmful effects of social media on young girls. In the chapter addressing this issue, Haidt outlines how platforms like Instagram and TikTok have created a digital environment saturated with appearance-focused content, relentless social comparison, and algorithm-driven exposure to unattainable beauty ideals. He presents compelling data linking the dramatic increase in screen time—especially image-centric, asynchronous social media use—to spikes in anxiety, depression, and eating disorders among teen girls. By connecting neuroscience, psychology, and social trends, Haidt argues that this digital landscape has disrupted normal adolescent development, leading to a public health crisis rooted in self-image and belonging.
