Samenvatting:

Our addiction to our devices is pernicious, pervasive and addictive. Powerful tech titans harness our attention to maximise their profits at the expense of our time, attention and mental health. This reliance on screens, resulting in constant dopamine spiking, is wreaking havoc on our capacity to immerse ourselves in problem-solving tasks and creative endeavours.

The research is unequivocal. An overuse of our devices leads to burnout, anxiety, depression, procrastination and sleeplessness. The good news is there's a way we can harness technology for our own benefit, and achieve the sense of peace, focus, and purpose we crave.

Packed with cutting-edge research and practical advice, The Attention Recovery Plan arms us with the powerful tools we need to break our reliance on screens, reset our dopamine levels and achieve the kinds of long-term goals that lead to a satisfying, full and happy life.
