Summary:
"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? 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. 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. Make customized changes to
your
settings, apps, environment, and mindset that will ultimately enable you to
take
back
control of
your
life
