While the Internet can enhance well-being, Elias Aboujaoude has
spent years treating patients whose lives have been profoundly
disturbed by it. Part of the danger lies in how the Internet allows
us to act with exaggerated confidence, sexiness, and charisma.
Aboujaoude dubs this new self our "e-personality" and argues that
its traits are too potent to be confined online. Offline, too,
we're becoming impatient, unfocused, and urge-driven. Virtually You
draws from Aboujaoude's personal and professional experience to
highlight this new phenomenon. The first scrutiny of the virtual
world's transformative power on our psychology, Virtually You
demonstrates how real life is being reconfigured in the image of a
chat room, and how our identity increasingly resembles that of our
avatar.
