I felt like this book was interesting to begin with but it lost me a little towards the end. I was hoping it would delve deeper into the potential answers for the issue and perhaps look into regulations or attitudes that have helped around the world. Chapters 9 and 11 got into this a bit but chapters 12 through 14 felt like add-ons. That said, I did enjoy some of the ideas the book presented and it has an extensive list of references to work through one day.
Since reading the book I've deleted the apps from my phone, though I still need to use Facebook for work on my laptop. I also leave my phone in a different room overnight. I might write about this all in a different post somewhere, but the effects have been fairly remarkable in my opinion. I am getting up earlier and using the time productively rather than spending an hour browsing social media and news websites in the morning. But I did go through what I would describe as withdrawal symptoms, including anxiety and a short period of depression.
