Jillian B's Reviews > The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Caused an Epidemic of Mental Illness

This book was a super interesting read for me as a millennial. I’m only six years older than the oldest Gen Zs (we would have been in elementary school at the same time!) but in many ways, their upbringings and teen years were so different from mine due to the rapid acceleration of social media and smartphones. This book really gave me a peek into their world. I don’t agree with all of the author’s arguments and conclusions, and parts of the book felt a bit dry, but overall it was pretty insightful. I think this is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the direction our society is heading in…whether you’re a parent, a young person, or (like me) just curious.
