Haidt is a reactionary who makes grandiose conjectures about the Kids These Days with little real scientific evidence to back them up. He's the same guy who threw a fit over safe spaces in colleges and made them out to be a way bigger deal than the were/are.
40% of the book is references. That doesn't seem like "little real scientific evidence".
He can be reactionary, and I don't agree with all of his views. But he is spot on about the negtive effect of smartphones and social media.
