Despite the advanced information and communication technology that surrounds us everywhere, we feel increasingly disconnected. This is due to our brains suffering from digital distraction due to excessive use of smartphones and social media, which has altered the composition of our neural connections, exploiting our innate need for intimate and emotional connection. The habits that accompany our digital lifestyles, in turn, have placed enormous pressure on the essential parts of the brain responsible for attention, emotion, and memory functions. They have also altered how we process information, communicate, and form relationships. These changes have even extended to the physiological level, which highlights the urgent need to restore the balance between technology and life. This is the central focus of this book, which offers scientifically supported solutions to protect the prefrontal cortex—the maestro that governs all brain functions. It is based on the belief that when you change your habits, you change your brain—it's that simple.
