Join Elise as she interviews TED speakers about their latest books and delves deep into their ideas.
Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt’s latest book, “The Anxious Generation,” is shaping cultural conversations — and sparking fierce debates. The #1 NYT best seller investigates the mental health crisis among young people, and argues the cause is clear: a smartphone-based childhood, amplified by overprotective parenting.
Informed by Jonathan’s work, there is an international movement to limit cellphones in schools and families. But is that the right path forward? And if it is, how do you shift something so socially entrenched?
Join Elise, Jonathan and TED Members for a lively exploration of these questions and more. This live conversation was recorded as part of the TED membership program. TED Members are invited to attend our live recordings and participate in Q&As with authors. To join in on the fun, sign up at go.ted.com/membership.
