My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open: How To Untangle Our Relationship With Tech
Hardback Edition: 1
My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open explores how bad digital habits and experiences are damaging lives, and what we can do about it. Tanya Goodin is a digital detox campaigner and agony aunt sounding the alarm on digital lifestyle issues we wrestle with daily. Through recollections of client consultations and expert analysis, Goodin breaks down what is happening and why, and tells us how we can fix it. Whether you are dealing with a partner who is mindlessly scrolling rather than listening to you (phubbing), a parent who floods social media with photographs of their children without consent (sharenting), or are one of the 66% who suffer from compulsive phone use (nomophobia), you will learn how to recognise and label dependent behaviours - both of yourself and others - and find actionable answers in this book. Complete with diagnostic guides to tell-tale signs and a manifesto for improved digital citizenship, the book investigates life, love and work versus tech. With each of the 24 scenarios included, Goodin offers the conversation-starting vocabulary we so desperately need to get to grips with our brave new digital world, and exist in it happily. Explore unforgettable facts, familiar lived experiences and carefully crafted solutions with this habit-improving bible.
