I don't want to sound like an old grump here, but kids these days with their devices and social medias are in trouble. What's that, you say? There's a whole book that not only agrees with that sentiment, but also has data to prove that the worsening outcomes of the world's youth are likely causal to the rise of social media and constant access to phones? Yes, it's Jonathan Haidt's "The Anxious Generation" and for our Spring Book Club, we've read it and are ready to discuss these eye-opening findings at with our regular crew. Fortunately, there's a lot more here than just evidence of the decline of play-based childhoods since the '80s and the significant rise of depression and anxiety in young adults since the 2010s. We've also got some ideas (some from the book and some from us) as to what we can do to turn this trend around. Rob and Diana put their youngest kid into a tall tower. That's not recommended by Haidt, but one can never be too careful!

The full episode is available for 2.0 LEARNING CEUs.
