The tools we have created to facilitate our lives now control us and our lives. More and more we rely on digital connection to fulfil our needs but so many of these needs cannot be met by a smart phone. Skype and FaceTime have taken the place of meetings with people; instead of playing with children, digital devices are used to entertain them; smart phones messages of no real importance are read while in the company of others.
More and more, we are living life through an online persona - an edited version of ourselves - that can actually lead to social anxiety and even depression. Through self-help assessments, step-by-step programmes and rebalancing techniques, this helpful guide shows you how technology can still play a useful and rewarding role in your life but not at the expense of personal relationships, and provides tools to enable you to create a healthy balance between the two.
