The Amazing Generation

Your Guide to Fun and Freedom in a Screen-Filled World.

Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller The Anxious Generation, this empowering new book for tweens is a guide to building a joyful, exciting life that doesn’t revolve around a smartphone.

Jonathan Haidt’s groundbreaking work, The Anxious Generation, ignited a worldwide conversation about how smartphones and social media affect young people’s development, motivating parents, educators, and leaders to push for change. Now Haidt joins forces with Catherine Price, bestselling author of How to Break Up with Your Phone, to speak directly to kids and early teens. Together, they encourage young readers to advocate for themselves and choose a life led by curiosity and confidence—not screens.

More than a list of warnings, this is a hopeful, practical roadmap for becoming your truest, boldest, most adventurous self. Readers won’t just learn how to avoid becoming part of the next Anxious Generation—they’ll discover how to grow into someone truly amazing.
