About the Book

We already know what we do with our phones and tablets. Do we know why? Most importantly, what are the consequences of our head-down habit? Our devices are changing us, changing how we relate, and also changing Taiwan-in ways we never think of. Bill Quinn examines our daily digital behavior and uncovers the hidden causes and costs of our digital addiction; 1. The personal costs in time and energy-and what this means to your career, health, relationships, family and children. 2. The larger costs to Taiwan society as a whole-and how this affects Taiwan's population, economy and future. It's time to do some critical thinking about whether you control your devices or if they control you. Do you have written goals? Have you defined your life purpose? The answers to those questions will determine your choices in each moment. Learn how goals and purpose will reduce your digital dependency. Do you get enough sleep? Do you know how this impacts each day in your life journey? The answers to those questions will determine the quality of your days. Learn why we get too little sleep and how that derails your dreams. Do you spend your time on activities that lead to long-term growth and life satisfaction? Or do you spend most of your discretionary time on unimportant things that seem urgent? The answers to those questions will determine the trajectory of your life. Learn how to avoid the traps that keep most people from achieving their goals. Heads Up, Taiwan delves into declining birthrates, wage stagnation, job dissatisfaction, dangerous streets and splintered marriages to uncover the role our addiction to distraction plays in our daily lives, and offers concrete ways to manage your devices and change your life. Hand-held technology is changing Taiwan, and Taiwan is a microcosm of the world. Much of what is happening in Taiwan with devices, social media, the Internet and games is true everywhere. While each society shares 80% of the behavior, Taiwan has its own unique 20%--for instance, gaming is much more popular with middle-aged adults in Taiwan than in America, and LINE is ubiquitous (as opposed to Twitter in America), while eBooks are more popular in America. Even environment plays a big role. Much of Taiwan is urban, with America being more suburban-each creating different technology practices. Regardless of the setting or society, as individuals we choose what to do with the 1,440 minutes we're given each day. Choose wisely.
