In this episode, Coach discusses some disturbing trends for teens. He begins by giving us a history of how communal our entertainment once was and the move to individualization. He then shares statistics on teen self harm, anxiety, depression, and loneliness, and those stats are NOT in a positive direction.
Jonathan Haidt's video referenced in the episode (author of upcoming book "The Anxious Generation). Some of the statistics mentioned in the episode are presented for you to see.
