Jonathan Haight is the author of The Anxious Generation, how the great rewiring of childhood

is causing an epidemic of mental

illness. Jonathan is the Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University's

Stern School of Business. He obtained his PhD in Social Psychology from the University

of Pennsylvania in 1992 and taught at the University of Virginia for 16 years. His research focuses on moral and
