What's it about?

''How to Break Up with Your Phone'' is a practical and eye-opening guide for anyone who feels glued to their screen yet craves a healthier, more intentional relationship with technology. Rather than demonizing phones, Catherine reveals how they are deliberately designed to hijack our attention; training our brains to crave constant stimulation and leaving us distracted, anxious, and less present in our own lives.

The book combines neuroscience, psychology, and hands-on exercises to help readers not only understand why they scroll endlessly but also retrain their minds and habits. Price frames this as a kind of “breakup”—not with your device entirely, but with the toxic patterns of use that keep you hooked.

In this KitUP, you’ll Learn:

- Why your phone feels irresistible — the hidden design tricks of Silicon Valley that keep you hooked.

- How screen time changes your brain — from shrinking attention spans to disrupted sleep cycles.

- Simple daily strategies — mindful exercises, phone-free zones, and intentional screen use.

- How to reclaim joy and presence — replacing scrolling with meaningful activities that enrich your life.
