A year after examining the effect of smartphones on teen mental health with The Anxious Generation, NYU social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is back with a new companion book.
Written with young readers in mind, The Amazing Generation finds Haidt teaming up with How to Break Up with Your Phone's Catherine Price to offer a "handbook for living a happy and exciting life that isn't hijacked by a smartphone," a press release explains.
The book, which will hits bookshelves on Tuesday, Dec. 30, aims to empower kids and early teens with the tools they need to "stand up for themselves by choosing a life not dominated by screens."

Aimed at children in grades 5th to 8th, the graphic novel offers "interactive challenges, secrets that tech leaders don't want kids to know and real-life anecdotes from young adults who regret getting smartphones at a young age and want to help the next generation avoid making the same mistakes."
Beyond educating tweens about smartphones, the book also promises to guide them to becoming their "most authentic, confident and adventurous self."
"Readers won't just discover how to avoid becoming the next Anxious Generation. They'll learn how to become amazing," the press release explains.
In a statement, Price said she was "absolutely thrilled" to team up with Haidt to bring the message that "the best parts of life don't happen on a screen."
For Haidt, joining forces was something he did not have to think twice about.
"When I wrote The Anxious Generation I was trying to reach parents, legislators and other adults who could start changing norms and laws quickly. I did not try to speak to young people," he said in a statement.
"Catherine Price does that so much better than me, and I'm thrilled to be her partner in creating The Amazing Generation," he continued.
