Conquer your phone addiction in just 30 days, and discover a happier, healthier and more fulfilled you.
The most important book I've read in yearsEveryone I know needs it now. Life changing. * SALI HUGHES *
Price's book is an invaluable guide of how - in the author's own words - to turn your phone back into a tool, not a temptation. In these dopamine-drenched days of the smartphone era, hours can be lost to the mindless scroll. Price's easily digestible tome is practical, not preachy, and a must-have for even the worst phubber. * PANDORA SYKES *
By the time I was halfway through following Price's system, I was a convert -- Caroline Crampton * New Statesman *
Entertaining (and also terrifying)... this is a book that should be available on the NHS * Emerald Street *
To design a more joyful life includes reframing some of our old perceptions and habits. Almost no single thing in modern life deserves a reframe more than the smartphone. In How To Break Up With Your Phone, Price offers an accessible and clever way to do just that. * DAVE EVANS, coauthor of Designing Your Life and adjunct lecturer in the Product Design Program, Stanford University *
Fascinating, entertaining and extremely timely. Your phone is an abusive partner - get rid now. * WILL STORR, author of SELFIE *
This book should be number one! -- CHRIS EVANS * The Chris Evans Breakfast Show, BBC Radio 2 *

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 KARNASLEWICZ, Health *. . .a comprehensive, step-by-step solution to spending less time with your phone and more time doing the things you love.
