Hello Free Presser,

I’m so excited to invite you to join me and Jonathan Haidt live in New York City on October 22 for a conversation about one of the most urgent questions of our time: What happens to a generation raised on screens?

In his bestselling book The Anxious Generation, Haidt helped spark a nationwide movement to understand how smartphones and social media are reshaping childhood—and, in many ways, all of us. His work has inspired real change: from parents rethinking their kids’ screen time to lawmakers pushing for phone-free schools.

Together, we’ll explore:

• How the “great rewiring” of childhood began—and what it’s doing to our communities and families

• How we can give kids back the real-world experiences they need to grow into healthy adults

• And what it might take, culturally and personally, to reclaim something essential we’ve lost

Don’t miss this urgent, hopeful, and deeply practical discussion. You’ll also get the opportunity to meet other Free Pressers in person.

👉 Get your tickets here!

I can’t wait to see you there,

Bari
