I was fortunate enough to have had Dr. Haidt as a lecturer during one of my classes at the University of Pennsylvania. For that class, we had read his book, The Happiness Hypothesis, another great read where Dr. Haidt (2006) shows that lasting happiness comes from balancing love, purpose, and personal growth. In The Anxious Generation, Dr. Haidt (2024) discusses how a shift has occurred in childhood and adolescence since smartphones have become constant companions, and how social media has replaced playdates and real-life friendships.
