Publisher's Synopsis
The advent of cell phones has allowed for a greater level of virtual connectivity and efficiency than ever before . But as the online world expands, why does it feel like we are growing less connected to the people and places around us ? In his debut book , GET OFF YOUR PHONE AND START LIVING , Tom Reynolds explores how people can better navigate the modern day by paying attention to -- and socially investing in -- the world outside our screens.Across eleven chapters , Reynolds gives anecdotal and research-based accounts of how common phone habits may weaken a person's well-being, success, and relationships . He pulls from his life as a business executive , world traveler, father, partner, and friend for a critical look at our society's dependency on cell phones and what we lose when we fail to look outside of them. Whether in our apartment buildings, at a stadium concert, or miles high in an airplane - he urges his readers to engage with the environment around them and start living.
