Twenge's book iGen is in fact excellent: https://jakeseliger.com/2017/08/28/igen-jean-m-twenge-the-ki... and complements The Coddling of the American Mind.

Rather, they'll subconsciously realize that it's all a facade and it'll make them even less happy.

I'm listening to the great book iGen [1] and it lays out very clearly, with empirical, longitudinal, multifaceted research, that social media apps unquestionably make teens more anxious and less happy.

If you want a book that uses national polls conducted over the past 40+ years, plus a little bit of anecdotal evidence to make the data tangible, I recommend iGen by Jean M. Twenge[0].

There's a noticeable trend that the kids of this upcoming generation are ill-prepared for college and expect the authorities to protect them. In highschool, they're less likely to go out without their parents or work a part-time job (And on a positive note, less likely to drink or have premarital sex).
