2 小时 26 分钟Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast, where.
We discuss science and science based tools for everyday life.
I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
My guest today is Doctor Jonathan Haidt.
Doctor Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist and professor at New York University.
He is also the author of several important bestselling books, including the coddling of the American Mind and more recently, the Anxious Generation, how the great rewiring of childhood is causing an epidemic of mental illness.
And today we talk mainly about the anxious generation.
However, it is not a purely pessimistic conversation.
Indeed, Doctor Haidt offers several clear solutions to the mental health crisis that now exists and that we have all created through the use of smartphones, in particular in kids entering and transitioning through puberty.
During today's episode, we discuss so called critical or sensitive periods for social development, for the development of an understanding about competition and violence, about sex, and how boys and girls are impacted differently by smartphone use and the specific solutions that do exist and that doctor Haidt has created that can place boys and girls as well as young adults, back on the trajectory of mental health.
So today's discussion is really one that brings together an understanding of neurobiology, psychology, social psychology, and technology in ways that are designed to serve the most critical members of our species, meaning our youth.
And for those that have already gone through youth.
Today's discussion is also relevant to you because, as many of you know, and perhaps have experienced, most everybody nowadays is challenged in some way by smartphones, both for the utility and the ways in which they can diminish our social and family interactions, academic performance, and more.
So, thanks to doctor Haidt, today's discussion really is a solution based one.
And it's one that is sure to educate, inform, and inspire specific, positive action.
Before we begin, I'd like to emphasize that this podcast is separate from my teaching and research roles at Stanford.
It is, however, part of my desire and effort to bring zero cost to consumer information about science and science related.
Tools to the general public.
In keeping with that theme, I'd like to thank the sponsors of today's podcast.
Our first sponsor is Helix Sleep.
