A smart, irreverent guide that draws from addiction and neuroplasticity research
to present a concrete action plan for breaking your phone addiction and
approaching technology's role in your life more mindfully.
Today, most of us find it hard to get through a meal or even an elevator ride
without wanting to pull out our phones. Yet recent studies have shown that
spending extended time on our phones affects our ability to form new memories,
think deeply, focus, and absorb what we read--and the hormones that are
triggered every time we hear our phones buzz both add to our stress levels and
are the hallmark signs of addiction.
