Unplugged: How to Live Mindfully in a Digital World

Put down that smart phone! All too often, we allow digital life to overtake real we use devices to entertain children, and ignore our friends across the table to look at a (probably meaningless) e-mail, post, or text. Unplugged helps you disconnect and regain a healthy balance between your human relationships and technology. It includes step-by-step plans for minutes-long, hour-long, day-long, and weekend detoxing programs; interviews with celebrities like Arianna Huffington (founder of The Huffington Post ) and Lewis Lapham (founder of Lapham’s Quarterly ) who have addressed the issue; and “mindfulness” techniques that teach you how to manage your online world in a healthy way.
