NYU Stern School of Business Professor of Business and Society Jonathan Haidt wants his students succeed in both the classroom and their day-to-day lives. While he’s been a professor for more than three decades, in 2014, he began to notice a shift in his students. And it wasn’t just him. Colleges around the nation began seeing higher levels of anxiety and depression across their campuses. Simultaneously, students began feeling less connected.

In Flourishing, Jonathan Haidt Is Changing Student Lives In and Out of the Classroom Stern professor and “The Anxious Generation” author Jonathan Haidt teaches students to engage with positive, device-free habits.

"Four years ago, someone told me getting into NYU was just luck. Today, I know better.
