In How To Break Up With Your Phone , Price offers an accessible and clever way to accomplish that reframe and discover more time and energy for a better life." -- Dave Evans , coauthor of Designing Your Life and adjunct lecturer in the Product Design Program, Stanford University, "The Marie Kondo of brains . . . for the first time in a long time, I'm starting to feel like a human again." --Kevin Roose, The New York Times "A slim, insight-packed volume that's both a primer on the toll smartphone overuse can take on our mental and physical health, and a practical manual for a 30-day reset designed to put you on a path to moderation, this is a book whose message couldn't feel more timely, or more urgent. (No, really: after finishing the whole thing in one horrified sitting, I immediately pre-ordered 3 more copies for friends and family.)" --Sarah Karnasiewicz, Health "Price dissects the way her phone has impacted her personal and professional lives, and gives practical advice on how to forge a healthier relationship with technology--without the fear mongering." -- Refinery29 "The most important book I've read in years.
