From email to smart phones, and from social media to Google searches, digital technologies have transformed the way we learn, entertain ourselves, socialize, and work. Despite their usefulness, these technologies have often led to information overload, stress, and distraction. In recent years many of us have begun to look at the pluses and minuses of our online lives and to ask how we might more skillfully use the tools we’ve developed. David M. Levy, who has lived his life between the “fast world” of high tech and the “slow world” of contemplation, offers a welcome guide to being more relaxed, attentive, and emotionally balanced, and more effective, while online. In a series of exercises carefully designed to help readers observe and reflect on their own use, Levy has readers watch themselves closely while emailing and while multitasking, and also to experiment with unplugging for a specified period. Never prescriptive, the book opens up new avenues for self-inquiry and will allow readers—in the workplace, in the classroom, and in the privacy of their homes—to make meaningful and powerful changes.

"Kerry Crofton's Less Screen, More Green describes the importance of children spending time outside and suggests how educators can encourage a love of the natural world that is so desperately important. Only if we care will we help, and nature desperately needs the help of all of us." - Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder - the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace.Most of us are relying on our digital devices and virtual communication more than ever - just how it is these days. Yet it can still be an opportune time to shift our mindset and make a few healthy changes where we can and when we can. Did you know that the World Health Organization published a study in The Lancet warning that childhood inactivity is a global epidemic harming their brain health and social skills? And this was in 2019, before a pandemic intensified usage of digital screens. Studying online, working remotely and virtual communication has disconnected us from each other - and nature.Do you worry about increased isolation, anxiety, depression, insomnia, inactivity, tech overload or lack of screen-free activities?This newest edition comes at a pivotal time; it's increasingly urgent to use electronics more wisely and balance out all this tech with outdoor time in nature. The good news: children don't need to be outdoors all day. Even twenty minutes of unstructured play boosts their physical, mental and social wellbeing.With quotes and contributions from experts around the globe and updated material, this is the essential toolkit for parents, grandparents and educators who want to show children the value of nature and restore a calmer pace to their own lives.Mindful Tech is thinking differently about all things wired and wireless, developing healthier tech habits and using devices in a more mindful way. Knowing a bit of neuroscience is helpful - how too much tech can harm our brains and behaviour, especially children and youth. SOME TOPICS:Best practices for all things wired and wireless. Ergonomics and easy stretching to reduce pain of aching eyes, sore back, "tech neck, wrists and thumbs" and other repetition strain injuries.Mindfulness practices to develop healthier tech and social media habits; enjoy less stress or insomnia, better sleep, and a calm and focused mind.Ways to encourage respect, kindness and empathy in children and youth.How to unplug more often and give kids a love of the natural world and screen-free activities: art, music, reading print books, caring for animals, gardening, or forest bathing - by an open window, or at a city park.The Mindful Tech Plans(tm) offer all you need to know to tailor healthier tech habits for your family, school or workplace. They are based the following:1. The Power of Natures is unplugging, and connecting with the natural world. Harnessing the earth's elemental energy isn't just a feel-good activity. It's a powerful tool in dealing with tech overload and boosting mental and physical health. There's sound science supporting the back-to-nature benefits as an effective remedy for anxiety, depression, stress and fatigue.2. The Power of Mindfulness is a vital skill. You'll see why it's not easy to put those devices down, and what to do. Why mindfulness? Being more mindful, seeing how tech cravings are never satisfied, helps break the cycle. The wild and speedy mind, used to staring at screens, cannot free itself.3. The Power of Kindness and Being Truly Connected is reconnecting with our inherent compassionate nature. We develop more emotional bravery and become more willing to interact heart-to-heart with others, rather than escaping behind our digital screens.The Family Tech Plan - how to set digital media limits, develop safer-tech habits and enjoy creative, screen-free activities - unstructured outdoor play and reconnecting with nature. The School Tech Plan sets out best practices including computer ergonomics, and outdoor activity guidelines.

Concerned that you (and your kids?) spend way too much time on devices and screens? Is this an unhealthy habit that can be controlled whenever you choose to cut back, or are you hopelessly hooked? Do you find it tough to get your kids (even the adult ones) off their phones at mealtimes to connect with each other? And to get outside to connect with nature? Now there's a way to find tech balance and use social media, smartphones, WiFi and "Smart" devices more safely. Too much screen time can be hazardous to your brain, heart and mental health.Concerned about phone or screen addiction and the disconnect from others and nature, especially youth and indoor kids? An international team of experts offers their latest research and recommendations with The Mindful Tech Plan: effective ways to unplug from your electronic gadgets and social media. Reconnect with yourself and others out in nature - digital detox made fun. Learn about the safer tech solutions for mobile phones, headsets, wireless connectivity and 'smart' devices. Enjoy the benefits of technology and reduce the risks. The international team of experts who worked with me to develop this plan are also concerned, and see the need for balance. We rely on technology ourselves and know the benefits. Our program is not about discarding digital devices, or feeling guilty when using them. It is about mindful use, and more nature time. No need to spend all day outside. Research shows only 20 minutes per day significantly reduces ADHD and improves your child's attention and behaviour. Can you find 20 minutes? Kids thrive outside splashing in puddles, getting dirty and building strong immunity. It's vital they learn to love nature and develop calm, not fearful, brains. They need to self-soothe without staring at an electronic screen. Parenting is not rocket science. These days it is much more complicated. You worried about attention deficit, now there's nature deficit as many parents believe that dangers lurk outside and the safest place is indoors. And many feel they are protecting kids by giving them cell phones so they are always within reach. If they only knew the hidden hazards of this good intention.Getting kids outside to play each day has always been a good idea. In this digital age it's essential and urgent. And balancing screen time with outdoor green time, you'll have less stress, better sleep and a more calm and focused mind in this age of digital distraction. It is vital to get our kids outside to play in nature as much as we can; to remember that all of us are inherently connected with this living, breathing earth. The greatest gift we can give children is to learn to respect and care for themselves, each other, animals, wildlife - all living beings - and our environment. The Mindful Tech Plan focuses on this vital issue. Young adults and children need our direction and support in dealing with digital addiction so they can be healthy, confident, kind-hearted, empathetic, and socialize well.I am concerned about so many young people feeling isolated and depressed in their tech-focused lives. Kerry Crofton is a mother, grandmother, health educator and founder of the nonprofit charity, Global Alliance for Brain & Heart Health. Her previous books: The Healthy Type A, and A Wellness Guide for The Digital Age.
