"Tiffany Shlain is a 21st Century Marshall McLuhan, reminding us that having the best of both worlds is not getting consumed by one." -- Jean Rogers, M.S.Ed. Director, Children's Screen Time Action Network, "In her new book, 24/6 , Tiffany Shlain, the founder of the Webby Awards, lays out a plan for surviving our 'always on' culture... Even for a digital curmudgeon like me, being 'unproductive' felt like a small revolution--and that's after only one day of it. I can't wait to discover what a decade of tech Shabbats feels like." -- Harvard Business Review, "In 24/6 , filmmaker and popular speaker Shlain introduces readers to what she calls a 'Technology Shabbat'--the one day, every week, where she and her family turn off all electronic devices. Beyond detailing the many ways she and her family have benefited, Shlain gives helpful, reassuring advice for embracing your own tech Shabbat and curbing device use." -- Real Simple, " Put down your phone and pick up this book. I did. In one day read it in its entirety, convinced by the end that 24/6 is timeless and timely wisdom. Tiffany Shlain is a modern-day prophet, brilliant and incredibly funny in equal measure." -- Angela Duckworth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grit "Here is the answer to the greatest collective and personal challenge of our time: reclaiming the essential dignity of being human in a digital age." -- Douglas Rushkoff, author of Team Human and Present Shock "Shlain delivers a moving family story, documenting the need for Shabbat in the first place." -- Sherry Turkle, MIT Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology, author of Reclaiming Conversation and Alone Together "An essential guide... There is nothing else like it; here is a place to turn if you feel there's something missing in our modern world." -- Jaron Lanier, best-selling author of Dawn of the New Everything and You Are Not a Gadget "I don't know how Tiffany Shlain does it. First the prize-winning movies, now an amazing book outlining a human way to manage our digital lifestyle. Like Tiffany, we all need to go 24/6. It's a great way to seize back control from our digital overlords." -- Andrew Keen, Best-selling author of How To Fix The Future "She convinced me.... that a day of disconnection is a path towards reconnection to the rest of our lives." -- Vint Cerf, the co-creator of the internet "This book is a wonderfully refreshing and practical roadmap, as she promises, to both slowing down time and having more of it." -- Krista Tippett, Host of On Being and bestselling author of Becoming Wise. "Tiffany Shlain is a 21st Century Marshall McLuhan, reminding us that having the best of both worlds is not getting consumed by one." -- Jean Rogers, M.S.Ed. Director, Children's Screen Time Action Network "To fulfill the promise of automation we may well need to re-learn some of the arts of living lost in the industrial revolution. Tiffany Shlain's book is a much-needed guide for how to start on this path." -- Marina Gorbis, Author & Executive Director Institute for The Future "Tiffany Shlain is a digital philosopher for our time, confronting the conundrums presented by a constantly demanding, ever-present information environment. I, as a pediatrician, live it and recommend it as a best parenting and best living practice to the families I serve." -- Michael Rich, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School "Shlain's well-written and well-reasoned book offers families excellent ideas for taming the digital monsters who have moved into their homes. I recommend it to all parents who have struggled to set limits on screen time." --Mary Pipher, co-author of Reviving Ophelia "Tiffany Shlain provides much needed sanity in our data frenzied world. Do yourself a favor. Read this book and take back your life." --Stephen Balkam, Founder & CEO, Family Online Safety Institute "[A] bright debut... A useful and much-needed guide to turning the clock back to a less frazzled pre-internet and -smartphone day." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Consider picking one day per week where you just put the phone down. Tiffany Shlain, author of the book "24/6," said her family has been unplugging for the Sabbath for a decade, and she finds the practice even more useful under stay-at-home orders where everyone's daily use of screens has skyrocketed." --The Washington Post, "Quarantine is magnifying the importance of creating these boundaries between time on vs. time off, online vs. in person, what we do ourselves vs. what we outsource, need vs. want." -- USA Today, Praise for Tiffany Shlain's Work "Examining everything from the Big Bang to Twitter." --The New York Times "Shlain leaves us with a magical mix of awe, humility and perhaps most important, a sense of agency in a world that seems so out of control....Tiffany is a wisdom teacher for this age, creatively taking us to where mindfulness, purposefulness and technology meet." --Wisdom Daily "A highly energized romp through a myriad of ideas about where the human race is headed." --The Hollywood Reporter "Ostensibly a film about technology, but it's really about human beings." --NPR Marketplace "An intensely personal exploration of what human connection means in our modern, technology-obsessed world." --The Atlantic "Super thought provoking." --Cosmopolitan "Shlain challenges audiences to push the potential of technology while being mindful... " -- USA Today "As parents we work to build our kids' brains. As geeks we exist with one foot in that interconnected space of the Internet. Shlain's [ Brain Power ] bridges the gap between the two." -- Garth Sundem, Wired.com "Tiffany is a breath of fresh air from the future." -- Douglas Rushkoff, Author, "She convinced me.... that a day of disconnection is a path towards reconnection to the rest of our lives." --Vint Cerf, Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist for Google and cofounder of the Internet Society, "In this wise, wonderful work, filmmaker Shlain eloquently argues the merits of taking a break from technology, particularly smartphones, one day a week ...Bolstered with fascinating and germane facts about neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and the history of the concept of a day of rest, this excellent cross between instruction and memoir deserves a wide audience." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "[A] bright debut... A useful and much-needed guide to turning the clock back to a less frazzled pre-internet and -smartphone day." -- Kirkus Reviews "Put down your phone and pick up this book. I did.

These days are days that will be inscribed forever into history books. We're living history now. One day we all will be the storytellers and history keepers, and conversations may always drift back to what did you do when." - Scary Mommy blog, "An essential guide...
