Resumen del Editor

If you don’t know how to put the phone down and that's ruining your life, keep on reading.

Do you check your phone every five minutes for updates? Do you find yourself staring at your screen after you just published a new Instagram post? Are you wondering how many likes you already collected, or whether your crush has commented on it? Are you glued to your phone? Are you mentally prompting people to interact with your content?

And then this: You need to find something important on your phone or computer, but while digging through the clutter of 64 GB loaded with pictures and unnecessary applications, you get lost and forget what you’ve been looking for in the first place.

You, my friend, are addicted to your devices and to digital channels.

Think of the amount of time you’re wasting away, time you could be putting toward something much more empowering and exciting.

FOMO is a real thing, and it can crush your life. Because of FOMO:

• An average person spends 5.4 hours per day on their phone! (That’s the amount of time needed to learn CPR)
• The smartphone is the last thing most people look at before falling asleep (and the first thing they check when they wake up in the morning)
• 22 percent of the people in the 18 to 29 age range check their phone every few minutes
• Rather than meeting others in the real world, 33 percent of teens communicate with their peers online
• 3.1 billion people use social media across the globe
• 50 percent of people drive while checking or even updating their social media profiles

That’s a scary world we live in, isn’t it?

Social media and digital content control your life, dumb you down, and make you depressed in the process. Isn’t it time to take the reins and rediscover the meaning of true happiness?

In Digital FOMO: Forget It, Delete It, you will discover:

• Eight unbelievable reasons why we become addicted to social media
• The massive cost of owning a smartphone - it’s a five-digit number
• Why you feel empty, even if you get all the social media validation in the world
• Digital minimalism: making good use of devices and content without letting them take over your life
• What will change in your life after you do a seven-day or a 14-day digital detox
• 26 very practical things you can do to start controlling digital clutter and reorganizing your world
• One secret that will transform your long-term relationship with technology
• Sustainable strategies for kicking FOMO in the butt forever

And much more!

You may think that you’ll never be able to live without your phone. You may think that all of your happiness, even your identity and worth are concentrated there.

Once you look up from the screen to acquaint yourself with the real world and all the amazing, hidden opportunities, you will never want to go back.

Overcoming FOMO will give you more time that you can dedicate to yourself, your passions, your loved ones, and will even help you become a better version of the person that you are right now.

So slow down, and switch the phone off right now. If you want a simple and easy-to-follow guide to live life without being a slave to social media and digital devices, scroll up and buy now.

A Powerful Book!

I love that this book focuses on minimalism digitally, without giving it up all together. Social media can be all consuming, however, there’s freedom in disconnecting at times. I definitely have some people I can recommend this to, and feel that this was such a great reminder to take those breaks. I’m so ready to take these breaks after listening to this book!

The book is an excellent resource for helping you get rid of your social media addiction. The author details the leading social media sites that people spend a lot of time on and why spending too much time on the sites is detrimental.

Lets' get a digital detox! Social media can be a distraction, replacing real relationships with artificial. Let's read a book(or hear one), disconnect from the digital planes.

Social Media Is Toxic

In today's world, one of the biggest problems is the excessive use of social media. Once you understand the impact it has on your life you should start to question your behavior. Of course, social media can be used as a business marketing tool but even then we should set up some rules for ourselves to get a healthy amount of screen time.
