We'll be reading The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. Haidt is a social psychologist who has studied the sudden rise in anxiety and depression in adolescents in western cultures. He looks at the data, considers trends, investigates causes, and offers solutions. It is a #1 New York Times Bestseller, and it has become a highly recommended book in both secular and Christian circles for the truths it taps into.

This book considers issues that are really important for those raising, teaching, and caring for children today, and is a worthy read for the information it presents. However, it does not consider things from a Biblical worldview, so as we take in all the helpful information, we aim to fill in really important gaps in our study together!
