It’s rare these days for a book to go viral, but that’s exactly what happened with <a href="https://geni.us/VxcCS8">The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness</a> by Jonathan Haidt. 
Now in its 75th week on the New York Times’ bestseller list, the book reveals a startling truth: Starting in 2012, teen depression rates suddenly spiked 150% worldwide, perfectly coinciding with the moment smartphones and social media conquered childhood. 
But Haidt doesn't just diagnose the crisis. He offers a roadmap out with norms, guidelines, and policy suggestions that parents, schools, and communities are already implementing with remarkable success.
