August Lamm
August Lamm knows how it feels to be glued to a screen. In her late twenties, burnt out as a social media influencer, she sold her smartphone and switched to a dumb phone. Immediately, her mental health improved, her attention span increased, and her curiosity returned. Since then, she has made it her mission to help others do the same.
You Don't Need a Smartphone proves that living without a computer in your pocket is not only possible but ideal. Offering guidance on selecting a dumb phone, navigating without GPS, meeting people offline, and overcoming obstacles like digital tickets and two-step authentication, this book is a radical reawakening, and a new blueprint for a fulfilling life.©2026 August Lamm (P)2026 Penguin Random House Audio
