β¦ Synopsis
Is your phone the first thing you reach for in the morning and the last thing you touch before bed? Do you frequently pick it up βjust to check,β only to look up forty-five minutes later wondering where the time has gone? Do you say you want to spend less time on your phoneβbut have no idea how to do so without giving it up completely? If so, this book is your solution.
Award-winning journalist Catherine Price presents a practical, hands-on plan to break upβand then make upβwith your phone. The goal? A long-term relationship that actually feels good.
Youβll discover how phones and apps are designed to be addictive, and learn how the time we spend on them damages our abilities to focus, think deeply, and form new memories. Youβll then make customized changes to your settings, apps, environment, and mindset that will ultimately enable you to take back control of your life.
