Coaching Culture 375: Navigating the Anxious Generation: Understanding Youth Mental Health in the Age of Smartphones with Zach Rausch
In this episode, we explore the impactful ideas presented in Jonathan Haidt's books, "The Coddling of the American Mind" and "The Anxious Generation." The discussion highlights how well-intentioned safety culture and overprotection are increasing anxiety and fragility among young people, as well as the significant role that smartphones and social media play in the youth mental health crisis. The episode features insights from Zach Rausch, Associate Research Scientist at NYU Stern School of Business and lead researcher for "The Anxious Generation." He shares the book's influence on community initiatives, including efforts in Ireland to delay smartphone use among children. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that sheds light on the challenges facing today's youth and the broader implications for parents and society.
