Critics Review
The essential guide to putting down your phone - and coming back to real life. – Catherine Price, #1 NYT bestselling author of How to Break Up With Your Phone
Everyone should read this book! August’s provocative and persuasive words should be mandatory reading. Powerful, unsettling and thought provoking. – Annabel Streets, author of The Walking Cure
For anyone who thinks the path back to a slower, more embodied, and fully present existence has been irretrievably lost - here is the map. Practical, humane, and quietly revolutionary. – Rhik Samadder
You Don’t Need A Smartphone is a radical polemic that demands action. Beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully argued, Lamm forces us to consider the impact of tech addiction and champions us to make change, of any scale, while we still can. – Moya Lothian-McLean
