24/6: Giving Up Screens One Day a Week to Get More Time, Creativity, and Connection
In a world incessantly illuminated by the glow of screens, Tiffany Shlain, an internet pioneer turned prophetic voice, introduces a transformative approach to reclaiming our humanity amidst the digital frenzy. "24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week" offers a compelling testament to the profound benefits of disconnecting from digital devices for 24 hours every week. Inspired by the ancient ritual of Shabbat and refined through a decade of personal practice, Shlain's narrative is both a journey and a guide, weaving together her family's experience with a rich exploration of the neuroscience, philosophy, and cultural traditions that underscore our need for regular respite from the digital world. Shlain not only shares the intimate story of how "Technology Shabbat" revolutionized her life—enhancing connection, presence, and productivity—but also lays out a practical blueprint for readers to embark on their own journey towards a 24/6 lifestyle. With persuasive clarity, Shlain makes a case for why stepping back is a step forward for anyone, regardless of background or belief, longing to reclaim the "essential dignity of being human in a digital age." "24/6" is not merely a book; it's a movement towards a more intentional, balanced, and fulfilling life.
