Take control of your digital habits

Do you feel absent and present at the same time?

You scroll for hours for no reason. You spend precious time watching other people's lives. Your children spend more time on their tablet than outside, playing with their peers. Your performance at work is reduced because of your hyperconnectedness.

Gabriel Pitt, a certified digital wellness expert, describes in this essay the biases and vulnerabilities that the internet and social media use to capture your attention and time. He suggests ways to improve your use of digital tools and helps you reclaim life in its fullest spectrum.

What if, in the end, the real wealth in the modern world was to be disconnected?

This book is innovative because of its transmedia approach. It underlines the positive cohabitation between traditional and contemporary media.

This fascinating book reveals how the digital tool dominates us and how our concentration has been drowned out by the permanent hyperconnection, shielding our social and professional lives.

Benevolent alert. Today, scrolling can be learned more quickly and spontaneously than the beautiful boredom of yesteryear! To be taken up and re-learned with the family.

Excellent book with lots of explanations that helped me understand why I was spending so much time on screens. It is now easier for me to concentrate on more essential things. I have ordered a copy to give to a friend who spends too much time on her phone.

This book allowed me to understand the mechanisms of the digital world and to become truly aware of the issues for all ages. I also enjoyed being able to discover information on the internet while reading (thanks to the combination of paper and QR codes).
