A New Crisis Has Begun, & We're Running Out of Time | Arthur Brooks

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Arthur Brooks about parenting, values, and raising children through example; why kindness, presence, and family habits shape future generations; the rise of depression, anxiety, and loneliness among young people since 2008; the modern crisis of meaning and purpose; how activism, social media, and endless scrolling replace deeper fulfillment; and Brooks' research on the three pillars of meaning—coherence, purpose, and significance; how technology may be undermining happiness and human flourishing; the modern crisis of meaning and happiness; how social media, smartphones, and digital life have replaced real-world human connection; why our brains evolved for small in-person communities, not virtual relationships; rising depression and loneliness among young people; the link between device addiction and unhappiness; success addiction, dopamine, and fame; and why Brooks believes a cultural backlash against screen-driven life may restore purpose, community, and optimism; parenting in the smartphone era and raising kids without device addiction; why family dinner habits and parents' phone use shape children's wellbeing; simple digital detox rules like no devices the first hour of the day, during meals, or before bed; the importance of focusing on life's "big things" over wellness hacks; and Brooks' research on meaning through deep conversations, real relationships, faith, purposeful work, beauty, and even suffering as keys to happiness and human flourishing, and much more.
