UNPLUG How to Break Up with Your Phone and Reclaim Your Life

Richard Simon's sturdy speaking voice has wonderful clarity and a masculine pitch range that gives his relaxed performance a solid and respectable sound. His vocal personality makes him sound open and flexible. It's a great vehicle for the smartphone addiction remedies he offers in this fresh-sounding audiobook. Stories of how people wrestled with and benefited from ditching their smartphones are at the heart of this presentation. The story of his own year-long smartphone separation is especially effective, promoting a connection with the author, as well as reminding us of the time we spend on these devices. His discussion of what we can do once freed from our devices offers hope, and specific strategies are provided for listeners who feel they've lost control of their lives.
