The smartphone has revolutionized the way we stay connected but has also created some addiction problems for users who can't put the device down, so the 'Phone Detox' book has been created as a way to help curb these effects.
Designed to be the same size as a traditional smartphone, the book will offer readers valuable insights, meditations, and ideas that they can read and flip through instead of reaching for their device. This will help them to focus more on their own well-being rather than mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, reading endless numbers of articles or playing games, even in the company of others.
Speaking on the 'Phone Detox' book, creator The School of Life said, "Phone Detox knows we love our phones and would never want us to give them up, but it is also gently aware that these delightful gadgets bear a hidden cost. This flip book is a tool that aims to bring a little sanity to our closest, most intense and possibly most danger-laden technological relationship.”
