    While technology has undoubtedly made our lives easier, it's also allowed us to develop bad digital habits along the way. Unfortunately, the same tech tools that make life so much easier are also competing for our attention - all the time - and we’re giving it to them. The result? We’re becoming less productive by fueling our tendency towards procrastination and reinforcing how disconnected we feel from ourselves, our loved ones and reality.

    In this vein, Your Best Digital Life shows readers how to stop, reevaluate and take control of their digital lives. It presents a new approach to digital wellbeing based on the authors’ “MORE” methodology (Mobilize. Observe. Reflect. Experiment.) Drawing on the latest research on mindfulness, psychology and neuroscience, this guide will show readers how to put this method into action and allow them to adopt a flexible, forgiving, and realistic approach to using technology.

    The book will comprise approximately 10 chapters, all covering different aspects of digital wellbeing with first person stories and scientific factoids woven throughout, plus exercises for the reader to put the techniques into action.

    Your Best Digital Life will empower readers by providing them with relevant, practical, novel techniques and guidance to create lasting change in their relationship to technology —ultimately helping them live less stressful, more productive, happier lives.
