You’re not broken. You’re overstimulated.
They sat on
the beach with their backs to the ocean, faces in their phones, watching clips
of someone else’s vacation. As Heather Henderson stood a few feet away,
ready to capture the perfect Cabo moment, she realized we were promised more:
more connection, more freedom, more possibility — not a life spent
refreshing feeds.
Handed devices before we were taught how to live with
them, most of us inherited this algorithmic world. We learned to let
notifications and endless recommendations choose for us in small, quiet ways,
until the choices no longer felt like choices at all, and we found ourselves
scrolling through life instead of living it.
The problem goes beyond
casual screen time. It is unconscious time — the moments we surrender
without realizing the cost.
Drawing from her years inside major tech
companies, including Google and Uber, Heather Henderson invites readers to
ask:
Did I choose this, or was it chosen for me?
If you feel wired
but tired, connected but lonely, or busy but empty, this book is an honest
look at how we lost presence — and a guide to reclaim it.
