"If you are a human being and you own a smartphone, you need this book."--Jonathan Haidt, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Anxious Generation

Do you feel addicted to your phone? Do you frequently pick it up "just to check," only to look up forty-five minutes later wondering where the time has gone? Does social media make you anxious? Have you tried to spend less time mindlessly scrolling--and failed? If so, this book is your solution.

In How to Break Up with Your Phone, award-winning health and science journalist and TED speaker Catherine Price presents a hands-on 30-day digital detox guide to breaking up--and then making up--with your phone. The goal: better mental health, improved screen-life balance, and a long-term relationship with technology that feels good.

Now fully revised to reflect advances in the technological landscape, this groundbreaking book features new expert advice and research on the science of addiction, with expanded chapters explaining how social media and algorithms are designed to addict us, impairing our abilities to focus, think deeply, and form new memories; and an updated section on the unique dangers social media poses to children, with brand-new tips on how to protect them.

Also newly expanded is How to Break Up with Your Phone's life-changing, evidence-based 30-day plan that will guide you--and your friends and family--through the process of creating new, healthy relationships with your smartphone, tablet, or other digital devices.

Whether you're seeking refuge from an exhausting news cycle or you're concerned about the negative effects of social media, How to Break Up with Your Phone offers practical solutions. It's guaranteed to help you put down your phone--and come back to life.
