Summary "Tiffany Shlain explores how turning off screens one day a week can work wonders on your brain, body, and soul." -- from book jacket flap.
Shlain explores how turning off screens one day a week can work wonders on your brain, body, and soul. Turning off all screens for twenty-four hours each week-- which she's done for nearly a decade with her husband and kids is giving them more time, productivity, connection, and presence. Drawing on the ancient ritual of Shabbat, Shlain provides a blueprint for how to do it yourself. She also delves into the neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and history of a weekly day of rest across cultures, making the case for why we need to bring this ritual back. -- adapted from jacket
