Listening transcends mere auditory reception; it entails attentiveness and thoughtful response. Through effective listening, individuals can revolutionize their lives, fostering wisdom and deep connections with others.

In the Anxious Generation, psychologist Jonathan Haidt contends that the increased reliance on cell phones, social media and unlimited access to the internet has created a generation of children lacking personal connections, risk-taking and face-to-face interactions with other children which he claims has lead to an increase in anxiety and depression as children navigate a new world with endless like and connections, but few meaningful and real relationships. He proposes waiting until high school to provide kids with phones and waiting until they are 16 to allow them access to social media. He calls on parents and schools to ban together against media companies that are trying to monetize every click and post.
