Summary

A topic that I’m truly passionate about is the introduction of social media and smartphones into all aspects of our lives – and what impact this is having on us individually, collectively and, perhaps most urgently, what impact this is having on our children. Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests. Today’s clip is from episode 456 of the podcast with world-renowned psychologist and author of the best-selling book ‘The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness’, Jonathan Haidt. In this clip, Jonathan shares some eye-opening insights and we delve into practical strategies for parents.
