Review :
"I was fortunate to cross paths with Life After Tech just days after being laid off, and it couldn't have come at a better time. The first few chapters were incredibly cathartic and validating. This book didn't just inspire introspection-it gave me the language and structure to process the many unknowns and worries swirling in my head. It helped me see that the Core Personal Qualities I valued in myself and applied in my tech career are just as relevant in other parts of my life.
Life After Tech has been a guiding light, making me feel hopeful and excited about the potential new paths I can take-whether I stick with tech or not."

"Life After Tech was an honest exploration of my relationship with technology. Debbie Levitt avoids the gaslighting, overly introspective tropes, and toxic positivity commonly found in self-help books.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking harmony after burnout in the digital age, with career insights that feel both attainable and genuine."
