DIGITAL DETOX
The Workbook for Breaking Free from Phones, Social Media, Gaming and AI
You check it before you are fully awake. You check it in the queue, in the meeting, in the bed beside someone who is trying to talk to you. You have tried to cut back before, and it has not worked — not because you lack willpower, but because nobody gave you a method built for the actual mechanism of the habit.
This workbook is that method. Drawing on three decades of NHS addiction work, neurolinguistic programming, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioural therapy, lifestyle medicine, and the twelve-step tradition, it turns the evidence on compulsive phone, social media, gaming and AI use into direct, practical work: a self-screener that shows you exactly where you stand, worksheets built to be written in rather than merely read, and a twenty-one-day structure for the reset itself.
Chandramani, the recurring teacher who runs through every chapter, keeps the work honest rather than abstract. The evidence, cited throughout and gathered into a full bibliography at the back, keeps it credible rather than hopeful.
You are not the behaviour you are trying to change.
This is where you start proving it.
