Description

Staying connected has never been easier: we text, call, like, and react anytime, anywhere.

So why do so many of us feel distracted, exhausted, lonely, or disconnected?

In Breaking Up With Our Phones, you'll discover how constant digital availability is affecting our personal and social lives, and how reclaiming your time and attention can help you reconnect with what truly matters.

Rather than arguing against technology, this book is about learning to use it without losing yourself or each other. So, no devices were hurt in the making of this book.

With insights from psychology, relatable stories, and practical strategies, you'll learn:

• why digital connection often feels empty and how to create real depth again

• how screens affect love, friendship, and work and how to set healthy boundaries

• why we feel exhausted even when we're "resting" and how to restore real energy

• how small rituals can grow into lasting connection

Expect a warm, hopeful guide to staying human in a hyperconnected world without unrealistic offline escape fantasies, doom-and-gloom, or preaching.

At its heart, this book is about making room for more life.


Staying connected has never been easier: we text, call, like, and react anytime, anywhere.

So why do so many of us feel distracted, exhausted, lonely, or disconnected?
