Consumption Control eBook (Live Preorder)

Retire your social media addiction, your phone, and the scroll: so you can get a roll of doing the s**t that actually matters instead.

A new path to curb your scrolling addiction. Yes, this is a book all about helping you scroll less, but no this is not the same old advice. "Block all the apps" "Delete your phone!" - what? "Make your phone grayscale!" - no no no...

How about this: Become someone else, someone better. Become the person who doesn't need to delete any of the apps. Because you simply have better things you'd rather be spending your time on and you spend your time on those things. Align your ideal self with your ideal priorities. This book is setup to help you do just that, with a new path. One led by your own interests and genuine curiosities.
