Catherine Price

I’m an award-winning health and science journalist, speaker, founder of Screen/Life Balance, and bestselling author of books including How to Break Up With Your Phone: The 30-Day Plan to Take Back Your Life, The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again, and Vitamania: How Vitamins Revolutionized the Way We Think About Food. My journalistic work has been featured in publications including The Best American Science Writing, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Slate, and Popular Science, and my TED talk on fun has been viewed more than 5 million times.

I speak and lead workshops and retreats about fun, creativity, productivity, and screen/life balance for clients including major conferences, Fortune 500 companies, business organizations, schools, health organizations, community groups, and hotels and retreat centers, among others. I'm also passionate about helping people navigate the tricky subject of kids, smartphones, and social media—which is why I'm here at SXSW EDU.

My ultimate goal is to help people of all ages scroll less and live more.
