Summary

Winner of the Marshall McLuhan Outstanding Book Award 

People’s New Book Worth Reading 

Real Simple’s Great Books You Won’t Be Able to Put Down 

Entrepreneur’s 12 Productivity and Time-Management Books to Read 

“I’m won over to a day with people, not screens.... I tried Shlain’s idea. I highly recommend it.” (The New York Times

“Tiffany Shlain is a modern-day prophet, brilliant and incredibly funny in equal measure.... 24/6 is timeless and timely wisdom.” (Angela Duckworth, number one New York Times best-selling author) 

This “wise, wonderful work” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) demonstrates how turning off screens one day a week can work wonders on your brain, body, and soul.

Do you wish you had more time to do what you love, think deeply, and focus on the people and things that matter most? By giving up screens one day a week for more than 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, offering the accessible lessons she has learned and providing 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), 24/6 makes the case for incorporating this weekly reset into our 24/7 lives, issuing a call to rebalance ourselves and our society. 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fabulous

This has been a book that I could not put down. One that resonated deeply with my own story as well as some great insights, learning, growth and challenges. Ready to explore what this looks like in my rhythm - bring it on.
