“This is a great little digital detox book, surpassed my expectations. It manages not to be preachy and acknowledges that most of us have this problem and gives small exercises to try and things to think about to start heading in the right direction.” Amazon 5* Review
KIND WORDS
"An insightful, informative and, most-importantly, enjoyable and easily-digested look at how we mis-use tech today and specifically how to recognise and break the bad habits many of us have developed. The tone is calm and compassionate while an appealing typographic design further humanises the topic. Both schools and workplaces would benefit from adopting and promoting the high-level of tech self-awareness and guiding principles of engagement set out here.“
