A hilarious, relatable twist on how to disconnect from our devices, with illustrated laugh-out-loud activities and journaling prompts.

Deep down, you know it's true: you could benefit from disconnecting from the internet and reconnecting with the world around you. Part journal, part coloring book, part advice on how to take a break, The Big Activity Book for Digital Detox will be an outlet for anyone who wants to laugh through the ridiculousness of the digital age and remember how to be a human--because it's definitely not going to happen when you're awake at 1:00 a.m. reading yet another listicle.

Activities include:
  • Craft with your obsolete iPhone cords
  • 10 things to do outside right now
  • Color in the influencer who is so grateful for you guys
  • Lies the internet tells you
  • Why gardening is a thing you should try

    • When you're longing for freedom from your devices, dig out a pen and turn to the pages of this timely, entertaining book--and don't post a picture anywhere #retro.
    "Absolutely obsessed… I don’t know how it’s possible for a person to be so funny. [Jordan and Erin] are geniuses.”—Modern Mom Probs

    "Digital Detox is the best throwback since you found that old mixtape you had forgotten about. So make a cup of tea (wine) and pick up this book. The internet will still love you when you return.”—Uli Beutter Cohen, founder and editor of the Subway Book Review

    "For years, I've averaged 19.5 hours/day on my phone, and my wife has turned to Alexa for tenderness and affection. Then we spent a weekend together with The Big Activity Book for Digital Detox and rediscovered that life can be so much more than clicks, likes, and latent anxiety. This book is the most important purchase you will ever make."—Brian Platzer, author of The Body Politic

    "We could all use a digital detox. This book is perfectly on point, filled with humor and wit."—Karen Robinovitz, founder of Digital Brand Architects and the Sloomoo Institute

    "The Big Activity Book for Digital Detox is an incredible twofer—not only will it help curb your screen addiction, but it provides endless entertainment for all that newfound free time you'll have once you stop checking your high school boyfriend's Insta stories. I laughed, I cringed, I word searched. And in and amongst the clever silliness (a Meredith Grey coloring page sees into my soul), I found some real inspiration to stop scrolling and start living. And most importantly, I put my phone down!"—Rachel Bertsche, author of The Kids Are in Bed

    "An ironic, clever, and hilarious way to get me to finally close my mail app, text messages, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tik Tok—you get it. Jordan and Erin's style is engaging and enjoyable, with truly LOL-worthy exercises and games, and it's also a compelling workbook of art."—Skyler Bouchard, TV host and blogger, @diningwithskyler
