58 min
Hosted byYascha Mounk

Yascha Mounk and Jonathan Haidt revisit The Happiness Hypothesis twenty years on and assess the campaign to get kids off their phones.

Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist at New York University’s Stern School of Business. He is the author of The Anxious Generation and The Happiness Hypothesis, which has just been reissued in a twentieth-anniversary edition.

In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Jonathan Haidt discuss what ancient wisdom and modern psychology teach us about how to live a happy life, how the movement to keep children off smartphones and social media is faring, and why artificial intelligence could threaten the very sources of human meaning.
