NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Anxious Generation’ analyzes the harmful effects of growing up online

While screens have become a totally normalized part of kids' development today, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt argues that the negative effects might outweigh the benefits. His new book, The Anxious Generation, details the correlation between an increasingly online social life and rising mental health concerns amongst young people. In today's episode, NPR's Steve Inskeep asks Haidt about how boys and girls experience socialization on the Internet, and how some of these behaviors might be curbed to get kids playing offline.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Profiting off greater risk: the reinsurance game

When an insurance company can't cover all of its claims, it actually has its own insurance. This is called "reinsurance." How does that work and why do reinsurers look at their risk pool differently than say home or auto insurers?

Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Money (Encore)

Money is a very strange thing. All of us use it. We spend it, earn it, and save it. We know it when we see it.

Yet, even some of the world’s best economists have a very hard time defining it. 

It has been around for thousands of years, yet there is still innovation being made with it today.

Learn more about the history of money, how it came about and how it developed over time, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Sociopath’ is a memoir about how to live with – and treat – the social disorder

Patric Gagne says she realized at a young age that she wasn't like other kids. Shame, guilt, empathy — feelings running rampant on the playground — evaded her. Her new book, Sociopath, is about how she came to be diagnosed with sociopathy in college and how her own studies into clinical psychology shaped her understanding of the disorder. In today's episode, Gagne speaks with NPR's Michel Martin about her lived experiences as a sociopath, and how they actually led her to working as a therapist.

It is one of the longest and largest structures ever built. It was designed to defend one of the oldest and greatest civilizations on the planet. 

For centuries it did just that…..and for some centuries it didn’t do that at all.  

Some people have claimed that you could see it from space, and it is one of the most visited tourist attractions on Earth.
