In his timely and urgent book, renowned social psychologist Jonathan Haidt presents a compelling examination of how smartphones and social media are fundamentally reshaping childhood—and not for the better. Through rigorous research and data analysis, Haidt illuminates the growing crisis of mental health among young people, directly linking it to what he calls our "phone-based childhood" era.

Drawing on personal experiences, author and entrepreneur Gina Boedeker offers readers practical strategies for clarifying priorities, establishing boundaries, and implementing decisive actions to counterbalance the all-too-common work-life imbalance.

We all possess the agency to reshape our lives. By eliminating what no longer serves us and cultivating a future filled with purpose and fulfillment, we can transcend burnout and create a life that is authentically our own.
