"As with any powerful and transformational change, technology has been both glorified and vilified. Margaret Morris has written the most balanced and illuminating book I have read on the subject. Put into practice the off-label uses of technology that she describes so lucidly, and you will likely be happier, healthier, and more successful.”
--Sonja Lyubomirsky, Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Riverside and author of The How of Happiness
"Everyone's eager to chide you for how you use devices like smartphones. Instead of wagging a finger, Margaret Morris offers a way to form alliances with technology to make your devices a part of you and your life, rather than an external force acting upon them"
--Ian Bogost, Ivan Allen College Distinguished Chair in Media Studies and Professor of Interactive Computing, Scheller College of Business, Georgia Institute of Technology
"Morris is a skillful storyteller. This book is a good read for today's digital health initiatives and for clinicians hoping to keep up to date in current trends in mental health technology."
