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, your interests and the people you love.

Packed with anecdotes the latest research, and clear advice on how to get our brains back, The Attention Recovery Plan is for anyone who has ever looked up from their phone and realised they've spent the last hour on autopilot - and regretted it.

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