How to Breakup With Your Phone

4/5 stars ★★★★

I got this book from my mom for Christmas. She got it for me from the library last year but I never read it but then she bought it for me and she wanted it read and annotated…So here I am. I did. learn quite a lot from this book and I found the explanations of brain works and neuroscience so interesting. The book was separated into two parts: The Wake Up and The Break Up. The Wake Up being about science and facts using many studies and metaphors that made them easily understood. The Break Up being the 4 week plan the other created to “break up” and explanations for each step and day. Personally I think I did learn a lot and use what I learned to cut down screen time but I can’t bring my self to delete a lot of social media lol. But in summary was a good read, and a good first book of 2023

genre: non fiction, info

Thanks to one of our intrepid and insightful @cheshudinc independent sales reps, we’re introducing a new feature to our weekly Rep Newsletter that highlights the titles our reps are talking up and can’t stop talking about. The inaugural pick comes from @bookslinger401 : “Emma Mitchell is someone I've been following for some time now on Twitter and Instagram and has great levels of engagement on both platforms. This unique book goes deeper than the 'forest bathing' trend, combining her personal experience and current research at how exposure to nature—in all forms—can bring about improved mental and physical health. Filled with beautiful illustrations and examples of her art with natural elements, the book feels super timely and sits at the nexus of the decluttering (a la #mariekondo), digital break movements (a la #howtobreakupwithyourphone ), and the continued rising awareness of nature deprivation in children (a la #thelostwords ) does to our collective understanding of the world around us.” ・・・ Repost @silverpebble2 ・・・ • The Wild Remedy • This is my second book, a fully illustrated diary of my nature walks throughout a year, in the wood behind our cottage, on a Pembrokeshire beach and in an untouched wildflower meadow in Derbyshire. It is not only a diary of the wildlife I encounter though, it is a candid account of my mental health and how each step I take among trees and plants, each sighting of a gold crest or moment spent among wild bluebells helps to lift my spirits on difficult days. As a scientist I was interested in *how* nature can mend us: the mechanisms by which wild landscapes affect our bodies and minds and can be truly medicinal. My hope is that this book might encourage more people to take even short walks outside and to reconnect a little with nature. It really does help on the dark days. It is full of my paintings, drawings, photographs and calligraphy, so that if you’re having a stressful time then curling up and simply looking at the pictures may help.

So – I’m going to attempt the plan prescribed in this book and yes the irony of posting this on Instagram/Tumblr is not lost on me.
