Book Summary
How to Break Up With Your Phone by Catherine Price is a science-backed, user-friendly guide that helps readers form a healthier relationship with their smartphones. Framed as a 30-day program, the book begins with a wake-up to remind us that our time and attention are finite—often overshadowed by impulsive “zombie-checks” where we lose minutes or hours without realizing it . Price explains how smartphones are engineered to be addictive—leveraging dopamine, intermittent reinforcement, FOMO, and multi-tasking illusions—and lays out a gradual, sustainable habit-change plan. The practical 30-day schedule starts with technology triage (removing apps, disabling notifications, reorganizing the home screen), builds mindful phone use and phone-free zones, and culminates in “phone fasting” and prioritizing real-world engagement. Throughout, Price emphasizes that the goal isn’t simply reducing screen time—it’s spending more time on what truly matters, and reclaiming attention, memory, focus, and well-being.

About the Author
Catherine Price is an award-winning health and science journalist, TED speaker, and the founder of Screen/Life Balance®. With bylines in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Popular Science, and O, The Oprah Magazine, she expertly translates research on behavior change, neuroscience, and digital wellness into captivating, actionable advice. Before focusing on digital-life balance, she wrote on topics like nutrition and play—her book The Power of Fun was among her notable works. Price brings both professional insight and firsthand experience to her work: she designed and tested her 30-day plan with over 150 participants, then steered them through the journey herself, demonstrating authenticity and efficacy. Her engaging tone is often described as akin to "the Seinfeld of science writers": keenly observing everyday absurdities and presenting meaningful change without moralizing.
