You Don't Need A Smartphone

In this revelatory manifesto, anti-tech activist August Lamm gives you the courage and confidence to ditch your smartphone once and for all. When I owned a smartphone, my life was bad. I knew this. What I did not know was that I had a choice. August Lamm wasted her youth on the internet. In her late twenties, burnt out as a social media influencer, she sold her smartphone and switched to a dumb phone.Immediately, her mental health improved, her attention span increased, and her curiosity returned.Since then, she 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 stories and practical suggestions, You Don't Need a Smartphone proves that living without a computer in your pocket is not only possible but ideal.Offering guidance on selecting a new phone, navigating without GPS, meeting people offline, and overcoming obstacles like digital tickets and dual-factor authentication, You Don't Need a Smartphone is as urgent and radical as its title, and a new blueprint for a fulfilling life in the Information Age.
