Daniel Sih notes the impact of constant technological connection upon relationships, productivity, health and other areas of life. In a world that seems to expect our constant presence and availability, he shows how we can reclaim time to restore and refresh ourselves.

"...we need space from the online world to think deeply, rest fully, and reconnect with people in our lives, and this requires a new set of productivity skills and practices.

His newest best-selling book, “Raising Tech-Healthy Humans,” is a practical guidebook to help parents reset their children’s tech- and life habits.
