How to Break Your Phone Addiction

Catherine Price, science journalist and author of The Power of Fun and How to Break Up with Your Phone, joins the show to close out The Offline Challenge. After a dramatic sendoff from our Offline Chancellor, Catherine talks with Max and Jon about the effectiveness of the past month's unplug challenges, from cold turkey to clown cases. Then she outlines how to stay broken up with your phone and explains why the guys' screen addictions are a symptom of a larger problem. The three conclude that a phone breakup isn't about what you lose, but about what spending less time on your phone can help you gain.
