A good book to read since I'm looking to cut down my social media usage. this just made it clearer for me why I wanted to do it in the first place.

Cal, I love your writings so I was delighted to get this book. I give you 5 stars straight up! P.S. I contacted GooglePlay as I can't alter the font of this book (I want to increase the size). It won't let me. It works for other books. I wonder if there is a fault in the GooglePlay version of your book. Perhaps worth contacting them.
