ENGAGING AND ENTERTAINING yet scientifically rigorous, this fully revised and expanded second edition of i-Minds comprehensively explores an era of screenbased technology's assimilation into our lives, pondering it as both godsend and plague. Addressing theory, popular media, and industry hype, i-Minds demonstrates:

• Positive steps to embrace new technologies while protecting our well-being and steering our future in a more human direction.

i-Minds is a must-read for anyone interested in fostering health and happiness, or who is struggling with the role of screened technology in our lives.

The best book yet to help you understand your kids' digital impulses, and your own role in guiding them.

Eye-opening, and I think anyone who has their phone within an arm's length from them right now would agree.
