What it is

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Inspired by the award-winning phenomenon The Anxious Generation, this new audiobook for kids and tweens is a comprehensive guide for living a happy and exciting life that isn’t hijacked by a smartphone.

A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year!

Jonathan Haidt's blockbuster book, The Anxious Generation, has sparked a global conversation about the effects of smartphones and social media on young people’s development, and has inspired millions of parents, teachers, and leaders to take action. Now, Haidt and Catherine Price, author of the bestselling How to Break Up with Your Phone, have teamed up to create a new audiobook that speaks directly to kids and early teens. Their goal? To empower young people to stand up for themselves by choosing a life not dominated by screens.

Whether or not kids already have smartphones or social media accounts, this engaging guide is packed with surprising facts, interactive challenges, secrets that tech leaders don’t want kids to know, and real-life anecdotes from young adults who regret getting smartphones at a young age and want to help the next generation avoid making the same mistakes.

But this isn’t just an audiobook about what not to do. It’s a bold, optimistic, and practical guide to growing into your most authentic, confident, and adventurous self. Listeners won’t just discover how to avoid becoming the next Anxious Generation. They’ll learn how to become amazing.
