Richard Freed, PhD, is a psychologist, author, and his insights have been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and other media outlets. He is a leading expert on how our kids’ increasingly screen-focused lives affect their physical and mental health as well as academic success. Dr. Freed has dedicated his professional life to unmasking how Silicon Valley has joined forces with leading psychological experts to create the secret science of persuasive design that is stealing a generation of youth away from the real world to live on social media, video games, and online video. He is determined to bring this knowledge—which now exists among a handful of tech elite—to all of those who care for kids. Freed speaks nationally to groups of parents, teachers, and health care providers. Receiving his professional training at Cambridge Hospital / Harvard Medical School and the California School of Professional Psychology, he is on the advisory boards of the Screen Time Action Network at Fairplay, Families Managing Media, and Wait Until 8th. Freed lives in Walnut Creek, California and is the proud father of two daughters.
