How to break up with your phone

In *How to Break Up with Your Phone*, Catherine Price argues that our smartphones, while seemingly indispensable, are actively hijacking our attention and diminishing our quality of life. Unlike generic advice on "digital detox," this book offers a comprehensive, science-backed 30-day plan, empowering readers to consciously reshape their relationship with technology, not abandon it entirely. Challenging the widely held belief that constant connectivity equates to productivity and happiness, Price reveals how our devices exploit neurological vulnerabilities, leading to decreased focus, creativity, and genuine human connection. The core insight is that reclaiming our attention is the key to reclaiming our lives; by consciously choosing where we direct our focus, we unlock the potential for deeper engagement, greater fulfillment, and a more meaningful existence beyond the screen.
