Digital Detox

Perhaps most compelling is its exploration of ""connected isolation,"" where social media exchanges trigger loneliness despite their illusion of community, contrasting sharply with the oxytocin-rich rewards of face-to-face interaction.

What sets Digital Detox apart is its balanced, practical approach. Instead of demanding total tech abstinence, it offers science-backed strategies like ""screen fasting"" and app-blocker tutorials, tailored for real-world challenges like work demands or parenting. The book progresses from diagnosing problems (sleep disruption, attention fragmentation) to actionable fixes, weaving in behavioral economics to explain how tech companies exploit psychological vulnerabilities.

Its interdisciplinary lens—mixing clinical research with cultural analysis—helps readers see their habits as both personal and systemic, fostering empathy rather than guilt. By framing moderation as liberation, the book empowers readers to reclaim mindfulness, productivity, and deeper relationships, proving that small, conscious changes can reignite what makes us human.
