Unfriended

We live in a hyperconnected world, and yet we’re more
disconnected than ever.

We spend more time scrolling through Instagram than we do
talking with our families. We’ve never had more ‘’friends,’’ but
we have no one to meet for coffee.

Joe Battaglia understands that we are wired to have community,
and that smartphones cannot meet our needs for love,
acceptance, touch, and connection. In Unfriended, Battaglia uses
research, personal insight, and biblical truths to help you:

•  leave behind the anonymity of the Internet and get face-to-face with people.
• go beyond the ‘’like’’ button and establish meaningful relationships.
• get out from behind your screen and enjoy God’s creation.
• avoid toxic social media debates and become a vehicle of change.

Unfriended will help you shake off your digital fatigue and get
back to real-life, real-world relationships with real people.

Social media is a poor substitute for another human being who will bring you light and love. In Unfriended, Joe
Battaglia gently reminds us how vital true community can be to help recover what our hearts so desperately need.

My friend, Joe Battaglia, has written a profoundly important book that uniquely encapsulates practical solutions
for the growing national addiction to social media.”
—KATHIE LEE GIFFORD, television host and New York Times best-selling author

Once again Joe Battaglia has put pen to paper, this time with Unfriended, to explore another crucial piece
of what makes us human. He studies an extremely complex issue that faces us today, one that has no simple
answers…in the hands of Joe, a friend I will never “unfriend,” he lays it all out as only he can do in simple
and easy servings that shed needed light.
—CORBIN BERNSEN, producer, director, and actor in L.A. Law, Major League, and Psych

Unfriended is a powerful, practical, necessary, and needed book. But more than that, Joe Battaglia is my
friend who lives what he teaches. He’s the real deal, and one should always trust words from someone
who does more than preach.
—DR. STEVE BROWN, author, host of Key Life Radio Network
