Why read it?

1 author picked Reclaiming Conversation as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book makes me wish to go back to raising my children and teaching my classes differently. Turkle clearly illustrates why smartphones and social media are so harmful to children and why daily face-to-face interactions are so important.

The good news is that it’s not too late. We can still change our lives, our schools, and our cities by choosing to spend more time with others instead of with electronic screens.
