Acerca de esta escucha
Turn off your phone and turn on your life with step-by-step instructions and success stories from dozens of people who’ve set healthy boundaries with their devices.
The average American spends the equivalent of more than 75 full days a year looking at their phone. It can become an all-consuming addiction that puts a strain on virtually every facet of our existence from the way we sleep, eat, and exercise to our ability to focus and make new memories. Most importantly, it takes us away from our lives, our relationships, and the real world. But although it may seem impossible, there is always a way to overcome digital distraction: you can always turn off your phone.
In Unplug, Richard Simon lays out a plan to detox from your phone, including different breakup styles, things to do with your newfound time, lightly reintegrating a smartphone into your life, and finally, helping others quit. These tips and strategies are interspersed with success stories, including Simon’s own story of turning off his phone for a whole year, plus those of 25 others, including a professional baseball player (Nick Castellanos), a cable news host (Steve Hilton), as well as ordinary folks including a principal, a pastor, and a couple who quit their phones together. Plus, expert insights from bestselling authors and physicians who specialize in digital wellness including Dr. Anna Lembke (Dopamine Nation), and Brian Merchant (The One Device).
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

“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 Breakthrough

Historia
We are constantly told to make the most of our time, to work harder, to stop procrastinating. But what if all that advice was wrong, and letting the brain rest, and the mind wander, could improve our lives? In this book, Dr. Joseph Jebelli shows listeners the way to happier, healthier, and more balanced lives in a deeply researched and entertaining guide to combat overwork and burnout. Through a blend of science, personal stories, and practical, actionable tips, Dr. Jebelli proves that the brain's "default network" turns itself on when we turn off the constant need to always do and achieve.

Thinking that putting too much thought into it would hinder the process I went ahead and got the book on Audible.
The book is well written and well narrated by the author. The point is clear: "Having no phone is freedom"
I went ahead the same day to order the Barbie dumbphone.
Even though I already deleted my social media a year ago but I still had the urge to check news and messages even though there's pretty much nothing to check... I was sick of it all. I feel like I am making no progress in life and I feel depressed all the time.
All in all, I got my dumbphone the next day and went to Verizon to have the sim changed out. The clerk was super amused that I was gonna ditched my iPhone and predicted that I was not gonna even last a week.
That afternoon I drove out to pick up my partner. While driving, I had no music, no notification, literally nothing to grab on to. For the longest time I could think deeply about my feelings. Process thoughts.
At the parking lot there was literally nothing to do so I started reading a book I left in the car. Everything felt calmer.
The same night I had dinner with a group of friends. With nothing to scratch my itch, I had to focus on everything that was going on. The dinner experience felt richer, the communication I have with my friends felt genuine.
And this is just the first day.
As a heavy smart phone addict since high school, I have a lot to detox. It's a decade and more worth of habit to detox.
Was it a hard decision? No. The books convinced me in the first chapter. It's a really well written book with people's accounts.
But do you need to listen to all of them before you ditch your phone? Maybe not?
I am glad that I got the book and switched to a dumbphone, and I sincerely hope you can benefit from the book and my experience too. <3
