With his current effort, Dr. Roberts asks readers if they may be getting "Too Much of a Good Thing" regarding their smartphone use.

Are you addicted to your smart phone? And, if you are, "What's the big deal?" In chapter three, experts tell us whether we can actually be addicted to our smart phones. The act of phubbing (phone snubbing) and its impact on your relationships is broached in chapters 4-6. But the fun doesn't stop there. Chapter seven offers a crash course on smart phone etiquette while chapter eight shares some interesting (and often sobering) facts about driving while distracted.
