About the Book

Psychologist Adam Alter explains why we're addicted to technology and offers essential solutions for a happier life Almost half of the developed population has an internet-based addiction. In some ways this is not surprising, as our world is filled with addictive experiences- from social media and messaging, to rolling news and video streaming. Attention spans are decreasing as our time spent glued to our screens are increasing, negatively affecting our ability to relax, sleep, develop relationships and achieve meaningful goals. Psychologist Adam Alter provides insight into why explains the science behind why we can't seem to stop such behaviour and offers practical advice for using technology differently, in order to lead a happier life, and to set yourself free. 'This examination of today's tech-zombie epidemic is worth putting your phone down for' Guardian 'Essential reading... Regain control of your time, finances and relationships' Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit
