I was given an advanced copy through Netgalley for my review. I would highly recommend this book to family and friends and will buy a copy for myself.

This book has beautiful pictures and great tips to help you detox your life from digital materials without being too judgy.

Sensitive way to look at the time we spend with our digital devices and ways to balance that time and not let them dominate our lives. Many good suggestions encouraging mindfulness and choosing how to spend your time.

A short and sweet little book that makes you stop and take a minute and reevaluate your habits. With beautiful photos it was easy to sit down with this book and take a minute and sink in and really read it simply for what it is.

Although none of the tips were things that I hadn't heard of before, reading them in a book took more meaning than in an article online and made me stop and take note of how often I am on my phone. I think with everything in life it is good to have boundaries and limits and this little book reminded me that everything is good in moderation!

I kept this book to get it out every so often and remind me to take a breather from all things electronic and enjoy a view!

I would honestly quit it all if it wasn't for my art and the need to have an online presence as an artist. After reading this I do feel that I will be less present online than I already am.

The way we are living is an unhealthy one, and I will be the first to admit that it has become a crutch for me - which has only worsened my anxiety and shyness. I have become too reliant on the screen between me and my friends, and I never meant for that to happen.

I have always had a love hate relationship with social media. I love the ease of connectivity with people, and it's a soothing alternative to face-to-face interactions (due to social anxiety/general shyness) but I hate that people have become so needy, expectant and generally just disconnected ( on a personal level, since everyone is VERY connected online ). It's become the normal thing to be in a group setting where people are just on their phones, and not making interpersonal connections anymore, and why not, when everything is literally at your finger tips now?

As someone who is an introvert and extremely particular about who I chose to spend my time with it hurts me to spend time with people who are spending time with their phone. People are no longer living life for themselves anymore, and it's for their online presence. I have been guilty of doing it, even my parents do it - and most of the time you don't even register that it is happening because it's become second nature to pick up your phone and scroll through the abundance of social media platforms.

This book outlines different ways that you can detox the digital world from your life. It gives you scenarios, reasons why you think you can't do it, and reasons why you SHOULD do it.

It also provides several things that you could be doing instead of being on your phone, such as: coloring, reading, completing puzzles, keeping a journal, sewing, cooking, being active, or just getting out and enjoying nature.

There are a lot of common sense points made in the book, but sometimes common sense eludes us. It's a nice wake up call for people who need it. I know that I will be pursuing my hobbies more, and checking my phone less, because this is not the way I want my life to be - dependent on my phone.

As a psychology major that is addicted to her iPhone, this book was a much needed read. The author not only explained techniques to ease into going into a digital detox, but explained how much better life can be without being attached to your phone in a non-judgmental manner. I suggest everyone read this. I am not going completely phone free, but am going to utilize the skills laid out to try to decrease my usage by 25%.

This is a beautiful book about unplugging from technology and realizing the everyday.
