Don’t let digital devices take over your life—this inspirational guide shows you how to disconnect so you can reconnect with your loved ones and mental well-being.
Staying connected and engaged with the important people in our life has never been more critical—or more challenging. The widespread epidemic of digital addiction and device overuse has contributed to a near-complete breakdown in our ability to form lasting, meaningful relationships with those around us.
As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Lori Whatley has invested years into helping people manage their digital devices to live fuller, more vibrant lives. Born from her one-on-one interactions with patients, Connected & Engaged delivers actionable advice that will transform your relationships and your life.
The insights provided in Connected & Engaged will empower you to:
• Create strong relational connections with the people closest to you
• Minimize the stress that comes from your digital devices
• Employ more effective, in-person communication methods
• Set and maintain personal boundaries against digital distraction
Are you ready to connect with the people around you, engage in the world, and create a life that makes you feel alive? Today is the day to truly get connected and engaged!
