Exploring The Inxious Generation and the Impact of Social Media on Mental Health
The chapter delves into a new book, The Inxious Generation, by a social psychologist, which challenges common beliefs by discussing apocalypse predictions and mental health epidemics. It emphasizes the harmful effects of social media on mental health, particularly in preteens, and suggests recommendations to address these issues such as delaying smartphone access. The chapter also explores the concepts of attention retraining, societal shifts, and infusing positive messages into the collective unconscious code through art.
