Together they tackle two sides of the same problem — a culture of overwork and constant screen time that leaves little room for genuine joy. Price blends behavioral science with warm, practical writing, guiding readers to identify what real fun feels like and to build healthier, more intentional boundaries with their devices. It's a grounded, research-backed pairing for anyone craving more balance, presence, and lightness in daily life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCatherine Price built her career as a science journalist investigating how modern habits shape mental and physical health, and both books in this set reflect that evidence-based approach. The Power of Fun challenges the idea that leisure is a guilty indulgence, arguing instead that True Fun — moments combining playfulness, connection, and flow — is essential fuel for creativity, resilience, and long-term happiness. Price walks readers through simple exercises to identify their personal 'Fun Factors,' spot the habits that quietly drain joy, and rebuild a life with more genuine delight in it. How to Break Up with Your Phone takes a more tactical approach, offering a step-by-step, 30-day plan to loosen the grip of compulsive phone checking without demanding a total digital detox. Readers track their usage, redesign their home screens, create phone-free zones, and practice small daily experiments that add up to a lasting shift in attention and habit. Read together, the two books form a natural progression: one reframes why unstructured joy and play matter so much, and the other clears the biggest modern obstacle — the smartphone — standing in the way of experiencing more of it. Both titles share Price's signature voice: curious, funny, and rooted in real research rather than vague self-help platitudes. Whether read back-to-back or picked up separately, this pairing gives readers a practical roadmap for reclaiming attention, energy, and everyday happiness in an always-on world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePairs a mindset shift on fun with a concrete action plan for phone habits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacked by behavioral science rather than generic self-help advice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten in Catherine Price's accessible, funny, and encouraging voice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes exercises, trackers, and daily prompts readers can use right away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA great gift for coworkers, students, or a New Year reset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format that's easy to read and gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Power of Fun — Explores why playful, connective 'True Fun' is essential to health and happiness, with exercises to build more of it into daily life.\u003cbr\u003eHow to Break Up with Your Phone — A practical 30-day plan of tracking, boundaries, and habit redesign for a healthier relationship with your device.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCatherine Price is an award-winning science journalist and speaker whose work focuses on attention, happiness, and the psychology of habit.

This approachable non-fiction guide delivers a clear, compassionate plan: a 30-day program designed to help readers reassess their relationship with screens and rebuild routines that prioritize real life. Price’s writing blends empathy with data-driven advice, recognizing that digital habits are not simply a matter of willpower but of environment, choice architecture, and daily rituals. The book invites readers to map their own phone-use patterns, identify triggers, and then implement concrete steps—such as redefined notifications, ritualized check-ins, and intentional replacements for mindless scrolling. The tone stays encouraging rather than punitive, making it accessible for beginners while still offering depth for those who have tried to cut back before. The result is a practical, sustainable program that can fit into busy lives, helping readers feel more in control and more present. The author’s credibility as an award-winning journalist underpins every recommendation, and the plan is designed to be adaptable, so readers can tailor the routine to their own goals and schedules, toward a long-term relationship with their phone that actually feels good.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You’ll Discover Inside:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis book unfolds a hands-on approach to curbing smartphone dependence with tangible, day-by-day guidance. You’ll learn how to audit your current usage, understand the subtle cues that trigger mindless checks, and redesign your environment to reduce automatic phone reaching. Each day introduces practical tasks—from optimizing your home screen layout to establishing “phone-free” zones and times—so you can build a healthier rhythm without feeling deprived. Price emphasizes sustainable changes over drastic, short-lived shifts, offering checklists, reflective prompts, and simple experiments you can repeat. The content is grounded in real-world psychology and behavior science, translating complex ideas into doable actions. By the end of the 30 days, you’ll have assembled a personalized toolkit: a set of routines, boundaries, and backups that support a more intentional, less reactive relationship with technology while preserving the benefits of digital connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It’s For:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis book is for anyone who finds themselves reaching for their phone first thing in the morning, last thing at night, or during every spare minute.
