El libro que desvela las causas del colapso psicológico de la Generación Z La salud mental de los niños y adolescentes se derrumba. Desde 2010, en los países desarrollados se ha observado un inquietante y pronunciado aumento en el número de jóvenes diagnosticados con ansiedad, depresión y otros trastornos psicológicos. Pero ¿qué es lo que ha ocurrido?El reputado psicólogo social y autor bestseller Jonathan Haidt ha dedicado su carrera a exponer verdades incómodas apoyadas en la evidencia científica dentro de los espacios más delicados: desde comunidades polarizadas por la política y la religión hasta campus universitarios enfrentados en guerras culturales. En este nuevo libro, Haidt se ocupa de la emergencia de salud pública que afecta a los adolescentes. La generación que llegó a la pubertad alrededor de 2009 desarrolló su autopercepción en el marco de cambios tecnológicos y culturales profundos, como el uso extendido de los smartphones y de unas redes sociales adictivas. Como consecuencia de ello, les ha tocado crecer en una especie de mundo virtual sin interacciones con personas de carne y hueso; y mientras los adultos comenzaron a sobreproteger a esos niños en la vida real, los dejaron involuntariamente desamparados en el brutal universo online. A partir de las últimas investigaciones psicológicas y biológicas, La generación ansiosa ofrece a los padres, profesores, compañías tecnológicas y gobiernos orientación sobre las medidas que se pueden tomar para convertir a una adolescencia sobreprotegida en una más humana y libre.
In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the "play-based childhood" began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the "phone-based childhood" in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this "great rewiring of childhood" has interfered with children's social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing from the real world into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies. Most important, Haidt issues a clear call to action. He diagnoses the "collective action problems" that trap us, and then proposes four simple rules that might set us free. He describes steps that parents, teachers, schools, tech companies, and governments can take to end the epidemic of mental illness and restore a more humane childhood.
