◎ Introduction

Why are we inseparable from our mobile phones as long as we are awake? Why are we more likely to fall into traps during the epidemic?

Why doesn't Bill Gates let his children use mobile phones and Steve Jobs doesn't let his children touch iPads?

How many traps are set in our mobile phones to make us addicted? How can we defeat this thief of life?

These problems also troubled Anders Hansen, Sweden's chief mental health expert. Based on his own research results, he creatively combined brain science, human evolution, and psychology to analyze why electronic products and social media can make us worse. People are more prone to anxiety and depression, difficulty concentrating, wasting time, poor sleep, poor mood, and lower IQ. Compared with adults who are led by mobile phones every day, children in the growth and development stage face more serious consequences. In this regard, the book provides further care and discipline suggestions to save the physical and mental health of teenagers. At the end of the book, the author also produced a "Safety Manual for People Traveling in the Digital World" to help readers solve practical problems through short suggestions. The first step to save your mobile phone brain is to put down your phone and open this book.
