Richard Freed, psychologist and author

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 a secret science to addict kids to screens. 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.
