Publisher's Summary

Do you pull out your phone at every idle moment? Do hours slip away as you mindlessly scroll? Has your smartphone added a level of detachment between you and the outside world?

Sadly technology which should be a wonderful boon to us has started to blight our lives. The average adult spends nearly 10 hours a day looking at digital screens, leading to unprecedented levels of stress, isolation, procrastination and inertia. The fact is that digital dependence is an addiction and should be treated as such.

Allen Carr's Easyway is a breath of fresh air when it comes to addiction treatment. Tried and tested as an incredibly successful stop-smoking method, its principles have since been applied to other addictions such as alcohol, gambling and caffeine with outstanding results. Here, for the first time, the Easyway method has been used to overcome digital addiction, and it really works!

Smart Phone Dumb Phone rewires our relationship to technology. By unravelling the brainwashing process behind our addictive behaviour, we are freed from dependence and can reassert control over our time and productivity. Including 20 practical steps to help you along your way, this wonderful guide will release you from the clutches of your smartphone and allow you to live in the moment. It truly is the easyway.

This is the key to freedom

Once again Allen Carr has made my life better. I’ve tried unsuccessfully so many times to rid myself of my social media addiction, as it turns out all I needed was this book. Straightforward and simple, if you follow this book step by step, you can be free. I’m so grateful for finding this author and this book, it was all I needed all along.

Changed my relationship with technology

As a lifelong tech addict, I tried this book based on the recommendation of a friend. It worked! After reading it I have a new relationship with my tech. I see my phone and laptop as tools and am free from endless browsing. went from 6+ hours of screentime to less than 20 mins daily.

force fit

it felt like this was the script for other Allen Carr books overlaid on to the issue of digital addiction. While i got some good insight into fighting addiction in general, the sentences in the book felt like they were straight out of an anti-smoking book but with some weird advice about digital addiction thrown in. (like deleting facebook friends and junk apps.) It was long, it was boring. I’ll give it some merit for the info about fighting addiction in general but this was a bad read. needs an overhaul to be more relevant to this specific issue
