In The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness, Jonathan Haidt explores one of the most pressing concerns of our time—the rising levels of anxiety and depression among young people.

With his academic rigor and compelling writing, Haidt offers an insightful and comprehensive analysis of the complex forces at play. The audiobook, narrated by Sean Pratt and Haidt himself, adds a layer of accessibility, making the content even more engaging.

There was action, but, not the kind required to have any positive effect on the lives of the passengers.
