Digital detox expert Tanya Goodin presents a compendium of
confessions, dilemmas and solutions that helps you untangle your
relationship with your phone and technology for a better, happier
you. Digital technology is more ingrained in our daily lives than
ever before, and so we need to be more aware of its risks. In this
un-putdownable self help toolkit, Tanya Goodin explores the cost
that our digital life inflicts on our offline existence, and the
things we can and should do to protect our mental health, our
family and our relationships in the face of this new digital
reality. Whether you are dealing with a partner who is mindlessly
scrolling rather than listening to you (phubbing), flooding social
media with your child's image (sharenting), or panicking whenever
you misplace your phone (nomophobia), learn how to recognise and
label harmful habits- both of yourself and others - and find
actionable answers in this book. The collision of our online and
offline worlds has left us more dependent on technology than ever
before, and even more desperate to log off. My Brain Has Too Many
Tabs Open is your key to finding digital balance and addressing
strange new social norms. Among the tech-versus-life scenarios
included are: Doomscrolling - endlessly consuming doom-and-gloom
news, a habit perpetuated by attention-seeking algorithms that
triggers anxiety and depression; Comparison Culture - 52% of teens
feel less confident because of feeling inadequate when comparing
their social media profiles with other people's; Vampire Shoppers -
dead-of-night, sleepless shoppers who spend a third more than
daytime shoppers, and range from nocturnal gamers to exhausted
parents; Digital Legacies - before the end of the century there
could be 4.9 billion deceased internet users, yet only 7% of us
want our online profiles maintained after death; Cyberchondria - Dr
Google is causing a wave of misdiagnoses from anxious searchers,
with 25% of British women buying false miracle cures as a next
step; Clicktivism - also known as slacktivism, is virtue signalling
through performative alignment with online causes, but can it ever
amount to meaningful change? Complete with client confessions and
eye-opening research, diagnostic guides to tell-tale signs and a
manifesto for improved digital citizenship, this habit-improving
bible offers the conversation-starting vocabulary we so desperately
need to understand and untangle our relationship with technology
for a more humane world.
