Catherine is a science journalist who is devoted to creating evidence-backed books and resources to help people build joyful and meaningful lives and create what she calls screen/life balance.® Her goal? To help people scroll less, live more, and have fun. To keep up with Catherine and her work, you can sign up for her "How to Feel Alive" newsletter on Substack. In THE POWER OF FUN: HOW TO FEEL ALIVE AGAIN (The Dial Press (2021), Price unpacks the latest research on the necessity of fun and includes tips and strategies to help people find actionable ways to incorporate fun into their daily lives. Groundbreaking, eye-opening, and packed with useful guidance, The Power of Fun is a revealing depiction of the ways that fun is far from trivial. In fact, it is the key to waking up and living a more meaningful life. In her seminal book HOW TO BREAK UP WITH YOUR PHONE® : The 30-Day Plan to Take Back Your Life (2018 and a revised edition in 2025), Price reveals how the time we spend on our smartphones affects our brains—from our ability to focus to our memory—and what we can do to create healthier long-term relationships with our devices. Evidence-based and thoroughly tested (and now available in more than 35 countries) HOW TO BREAK UP WITH YOUR PHONE® is an essential guide for anyone who owns a smartphone. Catherine's written and multimedia work has appeared in publications including The Best American Science Writing, The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Washington Post Magazine, Slate, Salon, Men's Journal, Mother Jones, The Oprah Magazine, and Parade, among others. Her other books include VITAMANIA: How Vitamins Revolutionized The Way We Think About Food (Penguin Press, 2015)—a lively account of the history of vitamins and how we got to where we are today. She is also the author of a parody travel guide called 101 Places Not to See Before You Die (HarperPaperbacks, 2010) and The Big Sur Bakery Cookbook: A Year in the Life of a Restaurant (Harper Collins, 2009). Her TED talk on fun has been viewed more than 5 million times.
