AN FT, OBSERVER AND NEW SCIENTIST 'BOOK TO LOOK OUT' FOR IN 2024An
urgent and insightful investigation into the collapse in youth
mental health, from the influential social psychologist and
international bestselling authorJonathan Haidt has spent his career
speaking wisdom and truth in some of the most the most difficult
spaces - communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses
battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a
public health emergency for teenagers today. In The Anxious
Generation, Haidt argues that for the cohort that hit puberty
around 2009, their sense of self developed as the threads of three
dramatic technological and social changes emerged: smartphones and
life with the constant companionship of a screen, front-facing
cameras and apps that thrive on selfie-culture, and social networks
that reduce engagement and affirmation to likes and hearts alone.
This book shows how the ground for the current crisis in teen
mental health was seeded by a decades-long shift from play-based
childhoods to ones defined by over-supervision, structure, and
fear: how adults began to overprotect children in the real world
while unwittingly offering scant protection in the brutal online
world.Haidt delves into the latest psychological and biological
research to show the four fundamental ways in which a phone-based
childhood disrupts development - sleep deprivation, social
deprivation, cognitive fragmentation, and addiction - while
offering concrete and scientifically based advice to parents,
schools, universities, governments, and to teens themselves.
Drawing on ancient wisdom and cutting-edge research, this
eye-opening book is a life-raft and a powerful call-to-arms.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
