Critics Review
“Readers will benefit from Simon’s straightforward, step-by-step approach, interspersed with useful sidebars on such topics as why well-meaning “digital hacks,” like deleting social media apps, are mostly ineffective. Readers uncomfortable with how much they’re glued to their devices will be inspired to break free.“–– Publisher’s Weekly
“Diving deep into the growing community of people who radically re-invented their relationships with their phones, Richard Simon identifies a roadmap for the rest of us to achieve a less distracted and more meaningful life.”
––Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Slow Productivity and Digital Minimalism“Richards Simon’s Unplug is a practical, down-to earth guide to untethering yourself from your phone. 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 BreakthroughAbout The Author
