“The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt”

This book explains why it has become harder for kids to think, focus and build close relationships in the digital age and provides reforms to build a healthier childhood and prepare them for the world.

7 lessons from the book 🧵 1) Between 2010 and 2015, the social lives of American teens moved largely onto smartphones with continuous access to social media, online video games, and other internet-based activities.

This Great Rewiring of Childhood is the single largest reason for the tidal wave of adolescent mental illness that began in the early 2010s.

Every parent and teacher should be required to read these two books.

I think these two important and essential books should be at the top of every bestseller list. I highly recommend them to everyone.

One lesson from both the books: From Bad Therapy by Abigail Shrier:

The purpose of childhood is to allow kids to take risks - things that involve getting all kinds of hurts - and to practice the skills they will need as adults while they are still safely under their parents' roofs.

10 lessons from the book 🧵 1) Iatrogenesis:

It literally means “originating with the healer” and refers to the phenomenon of a healer harming a patient in the course of treatment. Most often, it is not malpractice, though it can be.

Any intervention potent enough to cure is also powerful enough to hurt. Therapy is no benign folk remedy.

It can hijack our normal processes of resilience, interrupting our psyche’s ability to heal itself, in its own way, at its own time

“Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets”, said Leonardo da Vinci.

This biography by @WalterIsaacson sheds light on every facet of the artist’s life and will help you know him as a complete human being.

He was born on April 15, 1452. While Leonardo da Vinci is best known as an artist, his work as a scientist and an inventor make him a true Renaissance man. He serves as a role model applying the scientific method to every aspect of life, including art and music. Although he is best known for his dramatic and expressive artwork, Leonardo also conducted dozens of carefully thought out experiments and created futuristic inventions that were groundbreaking for the time.

His keen eye and quick mind led him to make important scientific discoveries, yet he never published his ideas. He was a vegetarian who loved animals and despised war, yet he worked as a military engineer to invent advanced and deadly weapons. He was one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance, yet he left only a handful of completed paintings.
