A welcome counter-argument to the tech panic caused by screen usage and the so-called psychological health crisis. A rare mix of reliable science, practical advice, and human stories. Notable is the author's ability to dispel some of the most harmful myths about our life dominated by smartphones and screens, providing good guidance on how to improve our time spent with them.

Most of us spend a significant part of the day in front of a screen. Our work and social life unfold through computers, tablets, and phones: via email, social media, video calls, and games. But what are the effects of all this screen time on our health, sleep, and relationships?

Professor Pete Etchells studies how screens are used and their impact on us. In the book UNLOCKED, he explores the real science behind the panic over the supposed addiction to devices and decreased concentration. Dispelling fears, he demonstrates how much we have to gain by creating a more positive relationship with our screens. This begins with asking ourselves some meaningful questions about their use.

Instead of discouraging us from using our devices, UNLOCKED is a sustainable, realistic, and vital guide to transforming our relationship with technology.
