Using a lens of mindfulness, this book explores how digital
dependencies can displace attention and undermine attentional
control, leading to experiences of stress and mindless involvement
with digital technology. Using qualitative interviews with teachers
and students of mindfulness programmes, the book explores the
challenges and opportunities for reconciling digital interactions
with mindful practice. A phenomenological analysis of participants'
digital experiences shows three different imperatives (relating to
digital capabilities, hyper-reality and algorithms), that can drive
unconscious forms of interaction and encourage a delegation of
attentional control that draws users away from the present moment.
The book concludes by exploring the implications of these
(extra-conscious) imperatives for understanding digital addiction.
It also provides a set of guidelines for a digital approach to
mindfulness practice that can encourage beneficial relationships
with digital technology into the future.
