I found this little book incredibly fascinating. Personally, I think that anyone who has small children or who is planning to have children should be required to read it. As a matter of fact, I plan to get a copy for my daughter and her husband who have yet to have a child.

I admit I am not surprised by what Hansen reveals, but I am a little stunned at the detrimental effect of cellphones (and tablets) on the intelligence and general well-being of humans. We are literally dumbing ourselves down by our addiction to them.

Fortunately, there is a solution to our addiction if we are just willing to see it through, and it’s not just spending less time scrolling through our social media, playing games, and looking for more dopamine hits on our devices. Anders offers the research behind why other things can help with this.

Hansen also offers lots of proof and references many, many studies about the information he provides. He has an incredibly thorough bibliography, as well.

Thanks for the free/gifted book, @penguinrandomhouse
