About the Book
Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller The Anxious Generation, this new book for tweens is a handbook for living a happy and exciting life that isn’t hijacked by a smartphone.
Jonathan Haidt’s blockbuster book The Anxious Generation has sparked a global conversation about the effects of smartphones and social media on young people’s development, inspiring millions of parents, teachers, and leaders to take action.
Now, Haidt and Catherine Price — author of the bestselling How to Break Up with Your Phone — have teamed up to create a new book that speaks directly to kids and early teens. The goal? To empower young people to stand up for themselves by choosing a life not dominated by screens.
Perfect for 9-12 year-olds — whether or not they already have smartphones or social media — this engaging guide is packed with surprising facts, a graphic novel, interactive challenges, and secrets tech leaders don’t want kids to know. It also includes real-life stories from young adults who regret getting smartphones too early and want to help the next generation make different choices.
At its heart is The Rebel’s Code:
- Use technology as a tool, don’t let technology use you
- Fill your life with real friendship, freedom, and fun
Because this isn’t just a book about what not to do; it’s a bold, optimistic, and practical guide to becoming your most authentic, confident, and adventurous self.
