Description

The book that finally gives your teenager the manual they've never had.

Most books about screen time talk to parents. This one talks directly to teenagers — honestly, without lectures, and without asking them to give anything up.

The Offline Playbook for Teens by Ariana Smith explains how digital platforms are engineered to capture attention, what smartphones are actually doing to focus, sleep, and real-life habits, and what changes when teenagers understand the mechanism and take back control on their own terms.

Written for readers aged 13–16 in a peer-level voice that respects their intelligence. Includes a complete 30-Day Challenge workbook.
