Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation examines the link between technology, parenting styles, and rising mental health issues in young people. The book argues that overprotective parenting and constant digital connectivity are "rewiring" childhood negatively. Haidt supports his claims with research and anecdotes, offering practical solutions. However, some critiques suggest the book is overly pessimistic and that the proposed solutions might not be universally applicable. Despite this, the book provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between technology, upbringing, and adolescent mental well-being.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
