We toggle from text, to email, to Facebook, and back to text, all while working, helping a child with homework, or God forbid, driving. We can order clothes, pay bills, transfer funds, buy groceries, and pay a parking ticket in the time it takes to cook a bag of microwaved popcorn. These errands would have taken the better of a day's time not ten years ago. Where has it gotten us? Do we feel more accomplished? More productive? At peace with a mile-long to-do list we are able to check, check, check as we click, click, click? Research says, "No", and we should be alarmed. Hung Up Why You Should Put the Phone Down (and Other Life Advice) takes a fresh look at how smartphone addiction is affecting our children and us with candid and personal narrative intended to inspire change. The book is short (most can read in an hour) and includes a step-by-step guide for how we can better manage our phone habits. If you've ever felt like you were being pecked to death by the ping of your phone, this book is for you.
