About this book
Join the Challenge: One Thousand Unplugged Hours in One Year
Former social media addict, Hannah Brencher discovered first-hand that turning off her phone had a substantial impact on her mental health, relationships, time management, and outlook on the world.
Like so many of us, Hannah had been turning to her phone to cope with life in a time of isolation and uncertainty. But those coping mechanisms had become habits she didn't know how to break until she truly committed herself to one simple yet profound act: log 1,000 phone-free hours in a year.
Now, in The Unplugged Hours, she demonstrates how the act of powering down and reducing the habit of a constantly plugged-in lifestyle can change your entire life.
No matter what you do for a living, how much time your apps save you, or how much entertainment your phone brings, it is possible to unplug—and rediscover the richness of life on the other side.
A powerful weaving of memoir, cultural commentary, and spiritual insights, this life-changing book will help you:
- Reclaim your ability to be present and engaged with the world around you.
- Swap the hurried, constant pace of technology for a steadier, more rooted way of living.
- Establish your own unplugged rituals and rhythms in daily life.
The Unplugged Hours gives you the practical ideas and spiritual inspiration you need to stop scrolling and start living. So join the challenge: put your phone down and live your life.
