Catherine Price Knihy

Je váš telefon první věc, po které ráno saháte a zároveň poslední, čeho jste se dotkl před spaním? Berete ho často do ruky, abyste „ jen něco zkontrolovali“, a pak se po 45 mintách divíte, kam se ten čas poděl? Říkáte si, že chcete na mobilu trávit méně času – ale vůbec nevíte, jak to udělat, aniž byste se ho vzdali úplně? Pokud je tomu tak, tato kniha je vaše řešení. Laureátka novinářského ocenění Catherine Price uvádí praktický plán, jak se rozejít a pak znovu sejít - se svým telefonem. Co je cílem? Dlouhodobý vztah, ve kterém se cítíme dobře. Zjistíte, jakým způsobem jsou telefony a aplikace vyvářeny tak, aby byly návykové, jak čas na nich strávený narušuje naši schopnost se soustředit, promýšlet věci do hloubky, vytvářet nové vzpomínky. Poté si přizpůsobíte nastavení telefonu, aplikací, prostředí a změníte duševní postoj, aby vám umožnilo získat zpět kontrolu nad svým životem.

"In our always-on, productivity-addicted lifestyles, we tend to think of the pursuit of fun as being indulgent, even immature and childish. When we do find the time to relax or care for ourselves, we tend to turn to activities that are not actually restorative: binging Netflix, scrolling through Twitter, or indulging our FOMO on Instagram. Through years of research, journalist Catherine Price has learned the truth: far from being frivolous or a distraction, fun is actually the secret to achieving our goals. If you reorient your life around what you personally find fun--true fun--you will be happier and healthier. You will be more productive, less resentful, and less stressed. You will have more energy, for yourself and for other people. You will find community and a sense of purpose. You will feel alive again"--Publisher's description.
