Author of 'The Anxious Generation,' Jonathan Haidt shares the evidence he's seen that reveals how technology plays a role in Gen Z's poor mental health, why parents didn't recognize the damage smartphones could do until it was too late, and the ways society can adapt our behavior (especially in our households) to revolve less around technology.
