★ 2025 Best Indie Book Award(R) winner - IAN Book of the Year finalist - CBCA finalist ★

You know the feeling. You put your phone down after who-knows-how-long and you feel worse than when you opened it. You need boundaries, but that doesnt mean you should feel guilty every time you scroll.

Reclaim Your Mind offers a middle way to "anyone whos feeling guilty and helpless about their screen time" (Catherine Price, author of How to Break Up with Your Phone). It isnt just another book telling you that your phone is ruining your brain. Its a mindful, balanced approach that helps you enjoy tech on your terms.

Most people who write a book like this want you to use less of it. Jay Vidyarthi is one of the worlds leading designers of mindful technology. A lifelong meditator and tech lover, he weaves together "a tapestry of wisdom" (Richard J. Davidson, NYT bestselling author of The Emotional Life of Your Brain) based not only on mindfulness, but also a deep understanding of how tech is designed. You shouldnt have to choose between inner peace and screen time, and neither should those you care about.

With relatable stories, short exercises in every chapter, and strategies backed by scientific research, Reclaim Your Mind is "a playful, wise, and practical guide" (Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, MD, NYT bestselling author of The Whole-Brain Child) to rekindling a positive relationship with TV, social media, games, news, email, and AI. Youll learn to stand up for your freedom of attention and actually enjoy the convenience, connection, and joy that technology can offer - all without getting stuck on apps designed to exploit you.
