Description
For those feeling overloaded with technology…
Let’s face it: most of us are on our phones or computers way more than we’d like to be, and more than what’s even beneficial. Overuse of technology can be harmful to our health and relationships, and we know that, but how can we rewire our digital habits for a healthier life?
In Calm, Cool, and Connected, Arlene Pellicane will walk you through an easy 5-step plan that will help you center your life on Jesus and love others better by decluttering your screen time. By introducing a few, easy habits into your daily routine, you can transform your relationship with technology and enjoy a life less mediated by a screen, one more full of God’s presence and the presence of others.
It's so easy to become consumed and preoccupied with our devices for fear of missing out or falling behind. In turn, we begin to suppress or ignore what’s most important, giving ourselves instead to the urgent and sensational. Let this book guide you in new habits for more balanced technology use, and thus a more balanced life.

Sparkly!. I have really enjoyed reading this book. The author writes in a fresh and direct way, it is not a book of "24 hours for ..." but a book that helps us to see the need to balance our life in relation to social networks and multimedia devices.
I am a technology lover, blogger and I spend time on social networks, so this book touched many personal thoughts.
I recommend it with all my heart.

Calm, Cool, and Connected: 5 Digital Habits for a More Balanced Life was a fantastic read. I really needed to read this book at this time in my life. It breaks down the word HABIT into five easy ways to balance your use of digital devices.
H = Hold Down the Off Button
A = Always Put People First
B = Brush daily: Live with a Clean Conscience
I = I Will Go Online with Purpose
T = Take a Hike
Read the book to get the full context of H.A.B.I.T. It is a very practical and useful list of ways to balance your digital life. ;)
Even though it was a short read (160 pages), I found several helpful tips (some I've already started using!) and definitely recommend the book. It is a must read.
*I received a complimentary eBook copy of this book for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, only my honest opinion - which I've done.*
