Your phone was designed to be hard to put down. This book shows you how to put it down anyway.
You pick up your phone to check the weather and surface twenty minutes later, somewhere you never meant to go. You sit down to do important work and find yourself refreshing a feed. You promise yourself an early night and end up scrolling in the dark. None of this makes you weak. Many of the apps you use every day are built to capture and hold attention, and willpower alone is the wrong tool for that fight.
The Quiet Screen offers a better one: a practical, research-informed plan for busy adults who want their phones to serve them instead of steering them. The goal is not to throw your phone away. It is to turn it into a quiet tool that helps when you call on it and stays silent the rest of the time.
Inside, you will learn:
- How the attention economy works, including variable rewards, infinite scroll, notifications, and AI-driven feeds
- What science really says about dopamine, habits, and the popular "dopamine detox"
- How to run a simple screen audit that reveals exactly where your time and attention go
- How to redesign your phone and home with calmer settings, smarter notifications, and helpful friction
- Proven techniques for handling urges, including urge surfing and "when-then" plans
- How to rebuild deep focus, protect your sleep, and rediscover the value of boredom and rest
- How to make screens work for your relationships with partners, friends, children, and colleagues
- A step-by-step thirty-day plan plus strategies for staying on track as technology keeps changing
Written in a clear, encouraging voice, with exercises, checklists, and realistic examples, this book treats you as a capable adult, not a problem to be fixed. Whether you are a professional drowning in notifications, a parent who wants to be more present, or anyone who feels their evenings slipping away, The Quiet Screen will help you take back your attention and spend it on what matters most.
Put the phone down. Pick your life back up.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
