Adolescence is a time of self-discovery, but for today’s youth, it comes with unprecedented challenges. Growing up in an era of social media, constant distractions, academic pressure, lockdowns, and climate concerns. How can young people build a strong and confident sense of self?

Generatie Zelfvertrouwen is the result of a unique, long-term study on youth self-image. It reveals that, despite today’s challenges, young brains are naturally equipped to adapt and thrive—provided they receive the right support.

Renowned professor Eveline Crone, author of Het puberende brein (100,000+ copies sold), and researcher Renske van der Cruijsen answer 30 key questions to help young people, and their parents, navigate adolescence with confidence.
