Page 15 - Attention Hijacked: Using Mindfulness to Reclaim Your Brain from Tech

Technology surrounds us every day: a phone alarm wakes us up,
an electronic calendar tracks assignment deadlines, GPS directs
us to the new dentist’s office, social media keeps us connected
to friends and family, and streaming platforms make sure we’re
never without something new to binge-watch. Our devices and
apps can make life much more convenient and entertaining.

But for years, experts have warned that too much screen time
may have negative effects on our health. With portable devices
and remote learning, it is even more difficult to put down
electronics. Being intentional about how and when to unplug

mental wellbeing in a world where screens and technology are
increasingly becoming necessities rather than just conveniences.

Attention Hijacked offers a roadmap for those deciding how they
want to deal with technology, exploring the ways technology
affects the individual, dispelling common misinformation, and
using this knowledge to make personalized decisions. Using
mindfulness techniques, this book gives readers the power to
take charge of their technology use.
