Why is Gen Z So Different? How The Great Rewiring of Childhood (2010-2015) Will Impact Everything

Is the mental health of youth being negatively impaired by too much access to smart phones and digital devices? Social psychologist and author Jonathan Haidt believes it is. In his No. 1 NYT bestselling book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness, Haidt examines what he's coined as the “great rewiring of childhood,” in which a play-based childhood has been replaced by a phone-based childhood. In this virtual visit, Haidt will talk about his research, the current youth mental health situation, and provide some collective action ideas to better prepare Gen Z and beyond to wisely navigate the virtual world.
