 august-lamm-sbgr About the Book: In this revelatory manifesto\, anti-tec
 h activist August Lamm gives you the courage and confidence to ditch you
 r smartphone once and for all. “The essential guide to putting down your
  phone — and coming back to real life.” —Catherine Price\, #1 NYT bestse
 lling author of How to Break Up With Your Phone When I owned a smartphon
 e\, my life was bad. I knew this. What I did not know was that I had a c
 hoice. August Lamm wasted her youth on the internet. In her late twentie
 s\, burnt out as a social media influencer\, she sold her smartphone and
  switched to a dumb phone. Immediately\, her mental health improved\, he
 r attention span increased\, and her curiosity returned. Since then\, sh
 e has made it her mission to help others do the same. Lamm started using
  a smartphone at age 14\, so she knows how it feels to come of age glued
  to a screen—and how hard it is to break free. Filled with moving storie
 s and practical suggestions\, You Don’t Need a Smartphone proves that li
 ving without a computer in your pocket is not only possible but ideal. O
 ffering guidance on selecting a new phone\, navigating without GPS\, mee
 ting people offline\, and overcoming obstacles like digital tickets and 
 dual-factor authentication\, You Don’t Need a Smartphone is as urgent an
 d radical as its title\, and a new blueprint for a fulfilling life in th
 e Information Age. About the Author: August Lamm is a writer\, artist\, 
 and anti-tech activist. Her essays have appeared in The New York Times a
 nd The Guardian\, and she has spoken on NBC and NPR about the impact of 
 technology on modern life. Her debut novel is forthcoming from Vintage.\
