I teach versions of it now at NYU’s Stern School of Business, to undergraduates and to MBA students.

• Role: backdrop
• In the book: Haidt teaches his course on flourishing at NYU Stern to undergraduates and MBA students. He says he has seen anxiety and device addiction rise as his students changed from millennials with flip phones to Gen Z with smartphones, and that he learns from their candour about their mental health.
• Why it matters: His own classroom is the first-hand vantage point for the book’s argument.
