Be Smart. Own Your Phone. is an 88-day immersive workbook that treats phone addiction like the real addiction it is — not with willpower, but with insight.
Inspired by proven methodologies, this book guides readers through a body-first transformation. Not rules. Not shame. Just honest observation leading to lasting change.
The n-ice way for a nice life.
Observe without judgment. Track the Phone Pain Index. Feel what the phone actually does in your life and to your nervous system. Come to your senses — literally.
The withdrawal phase everyone quits during. This is where the book holds readers through resistance with dopamine satisfiers (puzzles), personal letters on hard days, and the recognition that pain = progress.
Build phone-free zones. Track evolution. Reclaim time, attention, and life. Not phone-less. Phone-optional.
The generation that grew up without smartphones and got sucked in. Knowledge workers, parents, high-functioning professionals ready to change.
First book to combine addiction methods + embodiment + tech addiction in interactive workbook format. Physical, completely offline.
No book treats phone addiction as a somatic, nervous-system-level habit with compassion, science, and proven methodologies.
"Sometimes you have to sink your teeth in. This was it for me."
Kim Padding is the founder of n-ice.world, a human connection studio based in The Hague, the Netherlands. For 25+ years, she has trained people from YPO (Young Presidents Organisation), government organizations, commercial organisations, top athletes, special forces, and thousands of individuals in embodiment, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation.
Her approach: "Great minds need sensible experiences" — bringing body intelligence to the intellectual class that lives mostly in their heads.
Kim doesn't write about phone addiction from research. She writes from lived expertise in rewiring nervous systems — including her own. She transformed alcohol addiction, sugar, food and now she transforms this next big thing in her life: the relationship with her phone.
88 days. Three phases. A minimalist workbook designed to transform phone addiction from the inside out.
