You don't need to unplug from life to live well. You just need to stop letting technology lead.
In The Unfollow Effect, educator, parent, and business owner Emily Feldpausch offers a grounded, compassionate guide for anyone feeling overwhelmed by screens, notifications, and constant digital noise.
This book isn't about quitting technology or attempting a perfect digital detox. It's about learning how to unfollow what no longer serves you-from mindless scrolling and comparison, to habits that quietly steal your time, focus, and peace.
Through honest personal stories, research-backed insight, and simple, doable experiments, Emily invites readers to rethink their relationship with technology in a way that fits real life. Written from the perspective of a mother of three and special education teacher, The Unfollow Effect speaks especially to parents, educators, and adults who want to model healthier digital habits without guilt or extremes.
Inside, you'll discover how to:
- Reclaim attention and presence in an always-on world
- Protect mental health from scrolling-induced anxiety and comparison
- Build healthier screen habits for yourself and your family
- Align technology use with your values, not your impulses
The Unfollow Effect is a practical, hopeful reminder that intentional living is still possible-even in a digital world.
