A children's version of the global bestseller The Anxious Generation

How can we live a happy and exciting life without a smartphone?

The Anxious Generation started a world-changing conversation about the effects of smartphones and social media on young people.

Now bestselling authors Jonathan Haidt and Catherine Price have teamed up to talk directly to those young people about how they can live a life without screens.

Packed with facts, stories, and secrets that tech leaders don't want you to know, this book will not only help kids break free from phones, but also show them how they can be their most confident and adventurous selves.

It can help them be amazing.
