Join psychotherapist Dr Elaine Kasket as she takes us on a journey to rethink technology - and tune into what really matters.

* Do your screentime reports make you wonder what you're missing out on in 'real' life?

* Have you ever phubbed your partner on a date night?

* Will your kids forgive your sharenting when they are old enough to understand digital consent?

* Do you want to live a more balanced, present life?

In a digital world full of distraction and noise, it can be so easy to lose sight of the relationships and people that really matter. Yet as this transformative book shows, it is entirely possible at every stage of our lives to make positive choices about who we connect with and how we share our world with the people we know, love and trust.

Armed with Elaine's insights, you won't just think differently about technology. You'll feel happier and more empowered along the way.

Kasket has the ability to illustrate complex research areas through engaging, human stories that often reach all the way into your heart.
