Summary

The reigning expert on generational change, Dr. Jean Twenge joins us to talk about why we are at the forefront of the worst mental health crisis in decades and what we can do about it! Dr. Twenge explains that today's generation of children has less experience with independence and decision-making than previous generations did at the same age. Dr. Twenge shares that she has more students who cannot make simple decisions without texting their parents. She highlights the importance of real-life interactions with others, exercise, being outside, and good food for humans to thrive. She stresses that screen time is not a substitute for being with someone and that the time spent on devices has replaced time outside, which is not good for mental health. Save, share and subscribe!

0:22.4	I'm a pretty big reader read you know a lot of non-fiction and I think that the book that has been referenced the most in other books that I've read is Igen. So I had to pick it up. I mean I was seeing

1:16.8	pushback on getting your information out into the world because you know I've seen
