TED Talks speaker and mental health advocate Hannah Brencher inspires readers to unplug from technology and cultivate a life of presence, connection and wonder.

We engage with our phones more than 2,000 times each day... imagine what we could gain if we unplugged.

Driven by a growing feeling of anxiety, and guided by her faith, Hannah Brencher set herself the challenge of reaching 1,000 digital device-free hours over a year.

This book contains everything she learned along the way. Rather than advocating we ditch technology, Hannah encourages small, attainable changes through a series of meditations on themes such as:

• the importance of truly connecting with others
• how insecurity feeds digital addiction
• learning to be alone
• appreciating the mundane beauty of everyday life.

This book will open our eyes to the wonderful things that can happen when we untether ourselves from our devices and live a life more present.
