Catherine Price

Hailed in The New York Times as "the Marie Kondo of brains," Catherine Price is an award-winning science journalist, speaker, and author best known for her book, "How to Break Up With Your Phone: The 30-Day Plan to Take Back Your Life." Published in 30 countries, the book was featured in scores of high-profile media outlets around the world, including NPR, The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, Time Magazine, Wired, Vox, Refinery29, BBC World News Service, and many others. A New York Times article about Price and her 30-day program titled "Do Not Disturb: How I Ditched My Phone and Unbroke My Brain,” went viral, receiving more than two million hits in less than a week.

As a speaker, consultant and workshop leader, Price helps individuals and organizations create healthier personal and professional relationships with their phones and other devices. She is the creator and founder of Screen/Life Balance, which is dedicated to helping people learn how to scroll less and live more. Screen/Life Balance is part of Price’s continued mission to create evidence-backed resources to help people around the world design lives in which they control their technology, rather than the other way around, with the ultimate goal of increasing happiness, productivity, creativity, health and wellbeing.

Her latest book, "The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again," makes the case that, far from being frivolous, fun is actually critical to our well-being -- and she shows us how to have more of it.
