If Haidt convinced you that screens hijacked childhood, Shrier reveals the other culprit: therapy culture itself. With the same data-driven precision and cultural fearlessness, Bad Therapy exposes how over-diagnosis and emotional coddling have become their own epidemic, replacing resilience with fragility. This isn't anti-science contrarianism—it's a rigorous takedown of Big Therapy's unintended harms, delivered with Haidt's clarity and refusal to sugarcoat.
Where The Anxious Generation diagnosed the tech addiction, Bad Therapy names the therapeutic overreach that kept kids from bouncing back. Shrier arms you with actionable steps to restore the unsupervised, risk-embracing childhoods we've lost.
This is the cultural wake-up call that completes what Haidt started.
