Simon describes the steps that successful people have taken in the past, and presents several models for ""breaking up"" with our phones, culminating in a catalogue of the virtues of unplugging. As Simon explains, life is richer and fuller the less time we spend mindlessly scrolling and staring at our phones.""----Adam Alter, New York Times bestselling author of Irresistible and Anatomy of a Breakthrough
