To keep up with Price and her work, sign up for her "How to Feel Alive" newsletter on Substack. In her seminal book HOW TO BREAK UP WITH YOUR PHONE : The 30-Day Plan to Take Back Your Life, Price reveals how the time we spend on our smartphones affects us, and what we can do to create healthier long-term relationships with our devices. Evidence-based and thoroughly tested (and now available in more than 35 countries) HOW TO BREAK UP WITH YOUR PHONE® is an essential guide for anyone who owns a smartphone. In THE POWER OF FUN: HOW TO FEEL ALIVE AGAIN, Price explains why, far from being frivolous, fun is essential for a well lived, happy life. Groundbreaking, eye-opening, and packed with useful guidance, The Power of Fun was the inspiration for Price's TED talk on fun, which has been viewed more than 5 million times. Her newest book, THE AMAZING GENERATION: Your Guide to Fun and Freedom in a Screen-Filled World, is a collaboration with Jonathan Haidt, bestselling author of THE ANXIOUS GENERATION. Written specifically for tweens, it's a handbook for living a happy and exciting life that isn't hijacked by a smartphone. Price and her work have been featured in publications and outlets including The Best American Science Writing, The New York Times, NPR, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Washington Post Magazine, Slate, Salon, the BBC, The Guardian, The Oprah Magazine, and Time Magazine, among many others. Her goal is to help people scroll less and live more.
