The Bookshop is delighted to present a conversation between two renowned bestselling authors on a timely issue for all of us: The drawbacks of cell phone and social media use and the joy of spending time away from screens.
Catherine Price is an award-winning health and science journalist and #1 NY Times bestselling author of books including "How to Break Up With Your Phone," "The Power of Fun," and "The Amazing Generation: How to Choose Fun and Freedom in a Screen-Filled World," a guide for kids and teens co-written with Jonathan Haidt, author of the bestselling book "The Anxious Generation." She writes the Substack newsletter "How to Feel Alive" and her TED talk on fun has been viewed more than 8 million times.
Manoush Zomorodi is an award-winning journalist and host of NPR's "TED Radio Hour." Her latest book, "Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being," reveals the physical and emotional effects of our screen-saturated age, based on interviews with dozens of leading experts and a study of more than 20,000 individuals.
This event is free. The Bookshop will distribute 100 free copies of the books to the first attendees.
