About the Book….

IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT YOU CAN'T STOP SCROLLING.

Powerful tech titans have designed technology to harness your attention and addict your brain. This quest for profit has been at the cost of your time, attention and mental health.
The good news is, help is on the way. Bestselling author, corporate lawyer and trusted researcher David Gillespie has written a practical guide on how to minimise your use of digital devices, reverse the brain rot, reclaim your focus and reconnect with your ambition, drive, interests and the people you love.
Packed with anecdotes, the latest research, and clear advice on how to get our brains back, this is the book for anyone who has everpicked up their phone to send a message and found themselves, anhour later, down a rabbit hole of celebrity gossip, porn, conspiracytheories, and an overload of information about people you don't know or don't like, courtesy of Mark, Tim and Elon.

A BOOK FOR THOSE OF US PREPARED TO BUCK THE SYSTEM, DEFY THE ALGORITHM AND REWIRE TO THE JOYOUS CIRCUITRY OF REAL LIFE.

About The Author….

For more than 10 years, former lawyer and bestselling author David Gillespie has devoted himself to exposing forces in today's society that work against our interests as consumers and citizens. Beginning with the Sweet Poison books, he followed those up with Big Fat Lies and Toxic Oil. He then focused on education in Free Schools, before returning to the topic of nutrition in Eat Real Food, then the everyday psychopath in Taming Toxic People. He then tackled the effect of screens and devices on teens in Teen Brain and how to restore mental calm and stability in Brain Reset. He then taught us how to tame the workplace psychopath in Toxic at Work. Now he is helping us reclaim our attention for improved mental health and deep focus in his latest book The Attention Recovery Plan.
