About this Event

Is technology shaping the way we—and our kids—connect, play, and grow… for better or worse?

Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation has sparked passionate conversations around the world about the shift from a play-based childhood to a technology-based one, and what that means for mental health, relationships, and resilience.

This isn’t just a book discussion—it’s a lively, honest, and thought-provoking evening where we’ll:


  • Share different perspectives (including some that challenge the book’s conclusions!)
  • Explore how we’re navigating technology in our own lives and families
  • Exchange real-world strategies for creating healthier, more connected communities
  • Be inspired by the power of in-person conversation—something no “like” button can replace

Whether you’ve read every page or just want to join the dialogue, you’ll walk away with fresh insights, new connections, and a renewed appreciation for the role community plays in our lives.

Come curious. Leave connected.

📅 When: Tuesday, August 20 @ 7pm📍 Where: Hula Lakeside 💬 Who: Members & guests welcome
