Three Weeks Since the Launch of 'The Tech Exit'
A round-up of recent appearances
It’s been just over three weeks since The Tech Exit launched! Thank you to all of you who have bought copies, wrote Amazon reviews, and are spreading the word to your friends and local communities! If you’ve already read it, but haven’t left a review on Amazon, please consider writing one. It can be short. Every review helps boost the profile of the book so others can find it. And please do keep telling your friends and families about it.
Book Resources Available
Don’t forget that there are TWO accompanying resources that go with the book, available for download at thetechexit.com. One is a discussion guide so you can read the book in a group setting, like a book club, as a group of parents. This can be a really helpful way to apply one of the key principles of The Tech Exit, which is Find Other Families. And the second resource is a practical tip sheet of screen-free activities ideas to help families do a digital detox this summer!
