A batch of the best highlights from what Todd's read, .
Twenge finds that there are just two activities that are significantly correlated with depression and other suicide-related outcomes (such as considering suicide, making a plan, or making an actual attempt):
electronic device use (such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer) and watching TV.

sports and other forms of exercise, attending religious services, reading books and other print media, in-person social interactions, and doing homework
