A guide to developing a healthy relationship with technology. Drawing from his experience as a technology reporter, as well as his Judaism and Buddhist studies, Jon Mitchell makes the case that the best approach to this high-tech age is to relate to smartphones, social media, and the demands of constant connectivity as a spiritual practice. Buddhist teachings about mindfulness serve as regular reminders throughout the text, and the book’s spiritual summit is a chapter about the universal wisdom of keeping Shabbat and how it applies to the digital age.
