‘A wonderfully useful book, told with Dean Burnett’s trademark wit and wisdom’
Adam Kay on Why Your Parents Are Driving You up the Wall
I bet that you and your parents argue about phones.
“Can you get off your phone/ PS5/ Xbox!? NOW!” – Your parents (probably)
Do you and your parents argue about phones? Maybe you want one, but your parents don’t agree? Or maybe you do have a phone, but your parents think you use it too much, or don’t like what you’re using it for?
Either way, the result is: arguments. Between you and your parents. About phones.
Meet brain scientist and bestselling author Dean Burnett. He’ll show you why your parents are sometimes wrong about phones (and why, annoyingly, they can be a bit right), how you can both understand them a bit better and how you can stop arguing about them.
In his latest book, the first of it’s kind on phones and modern tech written FOR young people, rather than just ABOUT them, you’ll learn:
Why turning off TikTok can be so hard
How video games can change your brain for the better
How Snapchat can make us sad (and lots of other complicated feelings)
The appeal (and danger) of influencers
The importance of privacy, both yours, and others.
And so much more.
Because screens can be a good thing. And a bad thing. But they’re definitely not worth getting hung up about.
