Finally took back my time

I didn't know how much my phone was running my life until I had this book. It's like having a brutally honest (and hilarious) friend that points out how all the tech is messing with you-and then helps you fix it. The tips are super practical, and I've already started to put some into action. My screen time is down and I feel way more present. If you need a nudge to unplug then this is it.

Witty and insightful

I didn’t think I needed a digital detox until this book called me out in the funniest way possible. The practical advice mixed with clever humor helped me rethink my scrolling addiction. Highly relatable and genuinely helpful!

Save time, energy and money!

Having struggled to stop mindlessly scrolling on my phone for about ten years now, I really wanted to work on passion projects that required all my energy and I needed to quit social media as I lost days and weeks to scrolling for reasons I cant even remember. This audio was an hilarious pocket guide that took me off social media while i listened to it on the train to work everyday and also gave me a focal point to understand that actually my scrolling was an addiction! The tips and tricks really helped stop the itch to pick up my phone every two seconds and now I have gone weeks without needing social media and have got so much more time, energy and money (from not buying stupid items on tiktok) back thanks to this audio book.

A Much-Needed Break from the Digital Chaos

This audiobook hit home in the best way possible. It humorously yet thoughtfully addresses our love-hate relationship with technology. The mix of lighthearted anecdotes and genuinely practical advice makes it easy to relate to and apply in everyday life. I found myself laughing at the absurdity of some scenarios but also motivated to take a step back from constant screen time. LB Neibaur’s narration perfectly captured the humor and sincerity of the content, making it an entertaining and impactful listen. Highly recommend if you’re ready to unplug with a smile.

Stepping away without losing touch

This book hilariously captures the chaos of modern tech life while offering simple ways to break free from the algorithm’s grip. The tips for reclaiming time from social media are refreshingly realistic, and the humor about AI quirks had me cracking up. I loved how it balanced being tech-savvy with finding time to reconnect with real life. If you’re tired of endless scrolling but don’t want to ditch your phone entirely, this is a must-read for keeping your sanity!

Needed to read this!!

A Hilarious Wake-Up Call for the Digital Age!

It doesn’t preach but uses humor to highlight how much control algorithms have over our lives. The tips for unplugging and reclaiming real-world connections were refreshing and doable. It’s the perfect listen for anyone who needs a fun reminder to take back their time from endless scrolling.

Everything is fighting for your attention

It’s pretty amazing (and at high potential detriment) that everything and everyone in this day and age seems to be fighting for your attention. There’s an axiom that’s brought to mind, something like, “your attention is the ultimate currency.” I’m paraphrasing here, but the gist is there, and it’s so true. I have lost count of the amount of apps I have had to stop from shooting notification after notification to my home screen. It’s bad enough that we get sucked into these apps for their content, but to have them come screaming after you when you’re doing something else is another thing! I watch many people around me who are completely submitting to any ding that goes off on their device–this is no way to live, people! And Avery Wells humorously approaches the whole algorithmic universe in this excellent title that kicks the fear of missing out right where it hurts, ergo, reclaiming your freedom and life.
