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.

Jonathan Haidt is the Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University's Stern School of Business. He received his Ph.D. in social psychology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1992 and then did post-doctoral research at the University of Chicago and in Orissa, India. He taught at the University of Virginia for 16 years before moving to NYU-Stern in 2011. He was named one of the "top global thinkers" by Foreign Policy magazine, and one of the "top world thinkers" by Prospect magazine.

His research focuses on morality - its emotional foundations, cultural variations, and developmental course. He began his career studying the negative moral emotions, such as disgust, shame, and vengeance, but then moved on to the understudied positive moral emotions, such as admiration, awe, and moral elevation. He is the co-developer of Moral Foundations theory, and of the research site YourMorals.org. He is a co-founder of HeterodoxAcademy.org, which advocates for viewpoint diversity in higher education. He uses his research to help people understand and respect the moral motives of their enemies (see CivilPolitics.org, and see his TED talks). He is the author of The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom; The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion; and (with Greg Lukianoff) The Coddling of the American Mind: How good intentions and bad ideas are setting a generation up for failure.
