Summary:
"We're living with the clicking, beeping, anxiety-inducing frenzy of an online
world
. But a creative backlash is gathering steam. The
Joy
of
Missing
Out
considers the technologically focused life, with its impacts on our children, relationships, communities, health, work and more, and suggests opportunities for those of us longing to cultivate a richer on- and off-line existence. Christina Crook creates a convincing case for increasing intentionality in our day-to-day lives. Using historical data, typewritten letters, chapter challenges and personal accounts, she invites us to explore a new way of living, beyond our steady state of distracted "connectedness." Most of us can't throw away our smartphones but we can all rethink our relationship with the digital
world
, discovering new ways of introducing
balance
and discipline to the role of technology in our lives. This book is for those wishing to rediscover quietness of mind, and seeking a sense of peace amidst the cacophony. In 2012, Christina Crook disabled the data on her smartphone, turned off her email and said goodbye to the Internet for 31 days. She chronicled her experiences in LettersFromALuddite.blogspot.ca"--Provided by publisher.
