Petra’s Books

How to Master Your Digital Wellbeing

Digital detoxes don’t work. Drawing on research and interviews with global experts, Petra shares practical ways to reclaim your focus, energy and time, set healthy boundaries with technology and stay human in a world designed to distract you.

“So many of us have unwittingly become slaves to our devices. Digital Wellbeing not only explains the problem of digital addiction, but most importantly provides practical guidance on how to break free.”
