Finally took back my time

I didn't know how much my phone was running my life until I had this book. It's like having a brutally honest (and hilarious) friend that points out how all the tech is messing with you-and then helps you fix it. The tips are super practical, and I've already started to put some into action. My screen time is down and I feel way more present. If you need a nudge to unplug then this is it.

Save time, energy and money!

Having struggled to stop mindlessly scrolling on my phone for about ten years now, I really wanted to work on passion projects that required all my energy and I needed to quit social media as I lost days and weeks to scrolling for reasons I cant even remember. This audio was an hilarious pocket guide that took me off social media while i listened to it on the train to work everyday and also gave me a focal point to understand that actually my scrolling was an addiction! The tips and tricks really helped stop the itch to pick up my phone every two seconds and now I have gone weeks without needing social media and have got so much more time, energy and money (from not buying stupid items on tiktok) back thanks to this audio book.

A Much-Needed Break from the Digital Chaos

This audiobook hit home in the best way possible. It humorously yet thoughtfully addresses our love-hate relationship with technology. The mix of lighthearted anecdotes and genuinely practical advice makes it easy to relate to and apply in everyday life. I found myself laughing at the absurdity of some scenarios but also motivated to take a step back from constant screen time. LB Neibaur’s narration perfectly captured the humor and sincerity of the content, making it an entertaining and impactful listen. Highly recommend if you’re ready to unplug with a smile.

Digital Detox with a Side of Laughs

Finally, a book about cutting back on screen time that doesn’t feel like a lecture! This one leans into humor, making the whole idea of a digital detox way more entertaining than I expected. Instead of guilt-tripping, it pokes fun at how absurd our online habits have become—like how our feeds seem to know us better than we know ourselves.

The best part? It actually offers practical ways to break free without making you feel like a hermit. The playful take on FOMO, AI quirks, and setting boundaries makes it clear that you don’t have to ditch tech completely—just use it on your terms. Even the section on managing kids’ screen time is lighthearted but super useful. If you want to laugh while reclaiming your time, this is the book for you.

Enlightening & Humorous

I enjoyed the helpful tips in taking control over technology digital overload. I'm a sucker for humor and I found the information funny, relatable and helpful. It's so much better to give technology/social media a recurring break. And instead read a humorous book like this to brighten and lighten your day!
