Negative Effects of Social Media on Society | Jonathan Haidt on Feedback Loop ep 50

Learn about the negative effects of social media, and social media's impact on children and society with our guest Jonathan Haidt.

This week our guest is social psychologist, Jonathan Haidt, who has authored several books including the Happiness Hypothesis, The Righteous Mind, and the Coddling of the American Mind. We're lucky enough to have Jon join us to discuss his just released Atlantic article entitled, 'Why the Past 10 Years of American Life Have Been Uniquely Stupid,' which explores his upcoming book about social media.

In this episode we discuss the key points of this article, exploring what dynamics shifted in American life as a result of social media and the resulting impacts on our children’s mental health, on our politics, and on the fabric of society itself.
