Calm, Cool, and Connected: 5 Digital Habits For a More Balanced Life

Calm, Cool and Connected is a short book that aims to encourage readers to rethink and reform their social media habits so that we're not distracted by technology to the point we're living only half a life. \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nOverall, the book encourages us to develop good technology habits. It's not saying we have to go cold turkey, but encouraging us to be more intentional with the way we use technology, to use it as a tool, to put in-person connections first. \\r\\n\\r\\nWhile the tips are specifically around controlling the way we use technology (rather than letting technology control us), many of the principles hold true for any kind of habit. \\r\\nShe also doesn't recommend overreacting and going cold turkey in trying to rein in our social media use. Apparently, that's not a good idea. This book is full of tips that will help you develop more healthy technology habits. The book could also be used as a small group study, as there are plenty of questions and other discussion points. \\r\\n\\r\\nRecommended for anyone concerned about their digital use or who wants to develop better internet and social media habits. It would also make a good gift for social media-addicted family members . . . if you could get them off their devices to read it. Perhaps the publisher should consider a Minecraft or Fortnite edition. \\r\\n\\r\\nThanks to Moody Publishers and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.
