Filmmaker Founder, Tech Shabbats Author, 24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week

The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week

Tiffany Shlain will explore in her talk how turning off screens one day a week can work wonders on your brain, body, and soul. By giving up screens one day a week for over a decade, Internet pioneer and renowned filmmaker Tiffany Shlain and her family have gained more time, productivity, connection, and presence. Shlain takes us on a thought-provoking and entertaining journey through time and technology, introducing a strategy for flourishing in our 24/7 world. Drawn from the ancient ritual of Shabbat, living 24/6 can work for anyone from any background. With humor and wisdom, Shlain shares her story, offers lessons she has learned, and provides a blueprint for how to do it yourself. ”Bolstered with fascinating and germane facts about neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and the history of the concept of a day of rest” (Publishers Weekly) the national best-selling book 24/6: 24/6: Giving up Screens One Day a Week to Get More Time, Creativity, and Connection (Winner of the Marshall McLuhan Outstanding Book Award) makes the case for incorporating this weekly reset into our 24/7 lives, issuing a call to rebalance ourselves and our society.
