Book Recommendation: The Anxious Generation

The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt

Genre: Adult psychology (secular)

The Story: A look at the impact of digital childhood on kids.

Content Notes: This book is written by a non-Christian.

Why I loved this book: This was a fascinating and thought-provoking read. The author communicates in a clear, easy-to-understand language and with a level-headed sensibility about the growing documentation concerning the impact of social media and the digital realm on our everyday lives. He primarily focuses on children and young adults, but much of what he says equally applies, in varying degrees, to adults as well.

Pair with Romans 12.

Ponder how the digital world, and especially social media, is affecting your life, positively and negatively.

Pray for wisdom to use technology well.
