Tanya has written two books on our relationship with technology: ‘OFF: Your Digital Detox for a Better Life‘ (out now) is a pocket-sized guide for all ages on switching off and enjoying a more balanced relationship with tech. ‘Stop Staring at Screens!‘ (publishing 6 September 2018) is a practical handbook for families to read together to find ways of living happily with screens at home. Tanya is currently working on her third book.
Tanya’s digital detox book ‘OFF: Your Digital Detox for a Better Life‘ is a guide to introducing some balance into our increasingly screen-dominated lives: prompts, exercises and suggestions to reclaim your life back from your phone.
“A beautifully illustrated pocket guide to small tips and tricks to step away, to log off and stop visiting the ‘drug dealer’. Tanya forced me to look honestly at my habits, and now I know how to change them.“

“An excellent, engaging little book full of common sense advice to help us reconnect with ourselves and others, and to remind us how much of our “precious and limited” time is being wasted every day attached to screens of various sorts at the expense of real–life relationships. An easy, entertaining and informative read, the book also contains many interesting facts about how new technology is reshaping our brains, for the worse, and disturbing a whole series of bodily functions. A must–read not only for parents but for all their screen–addicted offspring. Mine for one will be reading it shortly.”

“OFF is everything that is lovely about analogue. The book itself is finished to a high quality; you want to touch it, to hold it. Within, there is no preaching. The narrative points the reader in the direction of thinking about how to achieve a balance in their lives – how a life might actually be improved by logging off now and again. (Shocking, I know.) I greatly enjoyed the book and will be making some subtle changes to the role that my beloved tech plays in my life.”
