How Gen Z Can Get Stronger, Smarter, And Happier
from NYUAD Institute · host NYUAD Institute
Rates of depression, anxiety, and self-harm are far higher for those in Gen Z (born after 1996) than any previous generation, including the Millennials. Employers report that Gen Z employees are often more fragile and lacking in life-skills. This talk explores three terrible ideas, interacting with new technology, that have weakened Gen Z, and discusses how young people can put themselves on a path to becoming stronger, smarter, and happier by rejecting these ideas and embracing ancient, time-tested, and culturally widespread advice. Speaker Jonathan Haidt, Co-Author, "The Coddling of the American Mind" (Penguin Press, 2018); Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership, NYU Stern School of Business
