Overview

"There's no question about it. Devices are pulling us away from what (and WHO) is truly important. But our phones also bring value to our lives. That's why they're not going away anytime soon. The genie is out of the bottle and technology is only going to continue to increase. That's the problem with a digital detox, a screen-smashing tech retreat, or even ""The Full Amish."" They're just not practical - and they're certainly not permanent. Your phone will be right there waiting for you when you get back. Let's face it, you don't really want to break up with your phone anyway. Instead, you want a long-term, healthy relationship with your device. But is it possible to keep all the benefits of modern technology while losing the nasty side-effects? Can you use your phone without it using you? Enter The 7-Day Digital Diet. It's the one-week habit-transformation plan that will change your relationship with your phone forever. Sounds bold, but when you have scientific research on your side and a simple step-by-step plan to apply it, a week is strong. You can do this. The answer isn't to remove our tech. The real answer is to rediscover our humanity."
