Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist and professor. His book "[The Righteous Mind](https://www.amazon.com/Righteous-Mind-Divided-Politics-Religion/dp/0307455777/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?crid=RXP2Y13CSXXR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HomeoEYmCzEyioPbnU-%5FcJzmlYNL1zPhXW%5F1PN5JJASXtZr4DCV9mBFoEiYZbN6M8gVFgTjR3uFC6wU87GZs785btjLxbkPKtcD-J417uuaaKw-BnQKSeNSjGMHaMrt6jCJydEqOBpGYw0zEbUuLTvf43iYS9KQZHZplSg43-iT4NjzSQ7%5FjYlAreeTuxV1PDukbBW-27d6EYEdHicp0rY0iElPonp9LSShDtd2358M.STMbChm7KIo8q750EN%5F0KQHfVGwa9ZglA10RGJi1hH8&dib%5Ftag=se&keywords=The+Righteous+Mind&qid=1750108089&sprefix=the+righteous+mind%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-1&ref=citizenjournal.us)" explored political polarization, while "[The Coddling of the American Mind](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0735224919/ref=mes-dp?%5Fencoding=UTF8&pd%5Frd%5Fw=3Sxoz&content-id=amzn1.sym.a8908360-3609-476b-8c64-1eef634998b7&pf%5Frd%5Fp=a8908360-3609-476b-8c64-1eef634998b7&pf%5Frd%5Fr=ST02YY76GKYKD7YPJ3S0&pd%5Frd%5Fwg=91ami&pd%5Frd%5Fr=fc52f7f3-3629-4b56-966e-f208ad9bc578&ref=citizenjournal.us)" argued that overprotective parenting and campus safe spaces are undermining young people's resilience. In "[The Anxious Generation](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593655036/ref=mes-dp?%5Fencoding=UTF8&pd%5Frd%5Fw=U9Tgu&content-id=amzn1.sym.a8908360-3609-476b-8c64-1eef634998b7&pf%5Frd%5Fp=a8908360-3609-476b-8c64-1eef634998b7&pf%5Frd%5Fr=8R53JDN8SPB9H4E4ECC4&pd%5Frd%5Fwg=QMbTE&pd%5Frd%5Fr=6c36881c-5719-42a4-b997-7244a6f4d09d&ref=citizenjournal.us)," Haidt argues that smartphones and social media adoption contribute to rising rates of mental illness.
