Overview: “This book will haunt you, but in all the best ways. It's not enough to know our kids are being tricked and manipulated, it’s knowing how they are being tricked that will help parents—and kids themselves—make smarter screen-time decisions.”—Victoria Dunckley, MD, integrative child psychiatrist and author of Reset Your Child's Brain“Dr. Freed courageously exposes the ‘puppet masters’ hiding behind kids’ screens, shedding light on how technology and gaming companies employ neuropsychologists and neuroscientists to implement manipulative designs in their digital products.”—Andrew P. Doan, MPH, MD, PhD, neuroscientist and author of Hooked on Games“This beautifully written and accessible book will give you calm, clear, and courageous information that cuts through profit-driven marketing, tech-industry manipulation, and media hype.”—Kim John Payne, MEd, author of Simplicity Parenting, The Soul of Discipline, and Emotionally Resilient Tweens and TeensIn Better Than Real Life, child and adolescent psychologist Richard Freed reveals how Silicon Valley’s secret science of persuasive design is pulling a generation of kids away from the real world to live on social media, video games, and online video. The psychological science is so powerful that it is able to persuade youth, at a genetic level, that sitting sedentary on playtime screens is better than running and playing, better than engaging with school, better than spending time with family. He shows how social media exploit girls’ DNA-driven instincts with tragic consequences for their mental health, while video games take advantage of boys’ Stone Age impulses, increasing the risks of academic struggles and gaming addiction.Who’s protecting the kids? As a parent, an educator, a health-care provider, or other person involved in raising children, why aren’t you being informed about the risks that supposed “child-safe” technologies pose to youth? Why has the industry been able to steal kids’ childhood with little to no resistance? Freed shows that the leading “health-based” institutions claiming to protect kids from unhealthy technology are actually aligned with industry, often financially, and essentially act as promotional bodies for consumer tech products.Freed has devoted his career to shedding light on how Silicon Valley industry is using psychology—a discipline that we associate with healing—as a weapon against children. He uncovers in this book a dangerous double a very small group of tech-involved parents are making fundamentally different choices about how their own kids use technology as compared to what their organizations preach is beneficial for other kids. The result is a shameful example of a small privileged group of parents being able to provide their kids a science-based childhood while the remainder of kids are pushed toward a screen-centered existence. This is wrong. A childhood focused around family, school, and the outdoors must be made available to all children and teens. Better Than Real Life shows how we can provide our kids the healthy lives they need—in the real world.

Took a moment to build, but the payoff was spectacular. The middle had a deliberate pace, but the climax was phenomenal. A very distinguished novel.

An acceptable diversion. It verged on repetitive in the second act. A more concise edit would have served it well. Unlikely to reread, but a reasonable expenditure of time.
