Screen Free Week Book Discussion: How to Break Up with Your Phone

Screen Free week Book Discussion: How to Break Up With Your Phone by Catherine Price

Join the library's Digital Specialist for a Screen Free Week book discussion on Catherine Price's book How to Break Up with Your Phone: The 30-Day Plan to Take Back Your Life. 

Packed with tested strategies and practical tips, this book is the essential, life-changing guide for everyone who owns a smartphone.

Is your phone the first thing you reach for in the morning and the last thing you touch before bed? Do you frequently pick it up “just to check,” only to look up forty-five minutes later wondering where the time has gone? Do you say you want to spend less time on your phone—but have no idea how to do so without giving it up completely? If so, this book is your solution.

Award-winning journalist Catherine Price presents a practical, hands-on plan to break up—and then make up—with your phone. The goal? A long-term relationship that actually feels good.

You’ll discover how phones and apps are designed to be addictive, and learn how the time we spend on them damages our abilities to focus, think deeply, and form new memories. You’ll then make customized changes to your settings, apps, environment, and mindset that will ultimately enable you to take back control of your life. (via Amazon)
