The author of the new book, Unplug, tells the story of how he stopped using his smartphone. We’ll hear what prompted him to make this choice, why the no-smartphone life is a trend, and the pros and cons of not having one of these ubiquitous devices at hand. We’ll also get insights from a psychologist on why people are so addicted to their smart phones, and when it might be harmful to their mental health.

Richard Simon, author, Unplug: How to Break Up With Your Phone and Reclaim Your Life; directs website strategy for Georgetown Law; former reporter
