Digital Detox: Reclaiming Focus, Rest, and Real Connections in a Digital World

Digital Detox: Reclaiming Focus, Rest, and Real Connections in a Digital World is a timely and powerful guide by tech veteran H.V. Lyons that explores how constant digital connectivity has impacted our mental health, relationships, and ability to focus, particularly among Millennials and Gen Z. Drawing from his unique perspective as someone who entered the tech field in the 1980s, Lyons blends personal narrative, research, and practical strategies to help readers reclaim their attention and emotional well-being. From the psychology of screen addiction and comparison culture to mindfulness tools, journaling, and the risks of AI companions and virtual reality, Digital Detox is not about rejecting technology; it’s about reshaping our relationship with it to foster clarity, presence, and purpose in an increasingly distracted world.
