So that was just what I needed. I have been feeling very restless of late I think do to the lack of boundaries I have with screens.

This book was well written, had inspiring quotes and good recomendations on other simmilar books. I am not one for the workbook chapter challenges in this book but for others that may be a draw.

Anyhoo I'd definitely recommend this one to people looking for digital balance in their lives.

Most books on this topic can be extreme - this is bad! Run away! Live Amish! But this was different. With fascinating, and sometimes frightening, statistics & research, Christina shows how technology is changing not only our world, but us as people. Taking a 31 day fast from technology, she discovered she loves email and has more time in a day when she doesn't scroll media every 10 min. Her bottom line message is balance. And I appreciated that.

I like to read a novel and a non-fiction book at the same time. Sometimes multiple non-fiction... but I am devouring this one! Her research is fascinating - and a bit scary. Technology is our friend but also an enemy in many ways. Such a great read so far. Will keep you posted. 😉

underthebelljar Looks interesting. Can't wait to see what you think! 7y
