Richard Freed, PhD, is a psychologist, author of the recently released book Better Than Real Life, and his insights have been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and other media outlets. Dr. Freed has devoted his career to revealing how Silicon Valley is using its clandestine science of persuasive design to pull childhood away from the real world to exist on social media, video games, and online video. He is determined to bring knowledge of this addictive science—which now exists among a handful of tech elite—to all of those who care for kids. He believes a science-based childhood focused around family, school, and the outdoors must be made available to all youth. Freed lives in Walnut Creek, California and is the proud father of two daughters.
