Synopsis

Sometimes a painful divorce leads to a happier marriage. How so? Divorce your Smartphone and reacquaint yourself with the person you married. Or reacquaint yourself with your child, your parent, your friend, your life. 58% of men and 47% of women suffer from “nomophobia”: fear of being without mobile phone contact, according to a study in the UK. You’re in a public place, looking at the crowd of faces around you, and an eerie silence prevails. Spouses, children, parents, friends are not saying a word to each other. Instead, their Smartphones are their source for all their social interaction. Imagine the sensation, some time in the distant future, when it occurs to you: how many opportunities for meaningful relationships did I squander in favor of a silicone instrument? What am I left with now? Turn On Your Phone, Turn On Your Life is a groundbreaking guide that: - Dispels the myths about the Smartphone’s indispensability, especially in business - Details over 40 strategies and tips to help you minimize Smartphone use and regain control of your life - Provides advice for the person who has to deal with someone else’s Smartphone overuse - Revisits the benefits of in-person friendships as opposed to cyber-friendships. Don’t wait until some unknown point later in your life when you plan to “tone it down” on your Smartphone. It may never happen. Turn it around right now. Turn off your phone. Turn on Your Life.
