Publisher's summary

Do you find yourself missing out on those “in the moment” moments? Do you find yourself continually making sure you are “photo-ready”? Do you find days seem to zoom by with nothing to show for? Are you affected by what people post, "like", or comment on when it comes to your social media presence?

Is clout something that matters to you?

Chances are, if you have said "yes" to any of the following, you may be spending more than the average amount of time online and on social media. There is a fine line between a healthy dose and an overdose.

In this book, I share with you the research that looks at the emotional, psychological, and physical impact a social media addiction has as well as how to take a step back from being connected.

Remember, we have one life to live, and if we continue to live through our smart devices, it does not matter how many photos, videos, or tags we get because we won’t have lived it. We will have let life pass us by, and we would have allowed those precious moments to be a memory.

Who is this book for?

  • Someone who feels anxious about being separated from their social media accounts
  • Someone eager to learn about what it means to be addicted to social media
  • Someone who wants to step back and regain control over their devices
  • Someone who wants to detox their brain

It may seem bizarre to think an inanimate object could control us, but look around you - how many people do you see glued to their phone?

Stop and smell the roses with my book; I am sure you will find a moment of peace, clarity, and freedom from your smart device.

If you are ready to take control, get the book, and start your journey!

Positive help for social media addiction

Love love love this audiobook. It really couldn't have come at a better time because of the pandemic. It really makes you stop and think how much time is spent on social media. The author gives you great suggestions on how to step back and take note of the impact that social media is having on your life and that of your friends and family. I like the fact that he points out the positive and the negative and help you to put it into perspective. The narrator Kelly McGibbon is great. She has a soothing and musical voice that makes listening very easy. I would highly recommend this book.

Amazing book!

What a beautiful book! I think this book unlocks the secrets of the capitalization of Social Media platforms. I sincerely appreciate the knowledge that comes with this book. You can tell that it has been well researched. One who loves social media forgets how it is a business and perpetuates the image of perfection! My favourite chapter is chapter 3 that depicts its design and how it draws in its users. Suppose you are one like me, one who keeps looking at the badges of your icons and constant notifications. Download this book and understand the cycle of social media and learn how to regulate it. Finally, I love the mobile tips. These reminders help us face what Social Media is in our lives.

Detox your brain and life!

I loved this book a lot! Yes, we can't imagine our lives without Instagram and Facebook. Many interesting facts and insights inside the book made me look at my daily life differently. I never knew that social media could influence your mental health and literally "ruin your life." This book gave me knowing how to use social media to benefit instead of being a slave of it.

Highly recommend it to everyone, especially Millenials and teenagers. Great book!

Social Addiction is Real

I didn't realize at 1st just how much social media affects our lives and how much addiction that it can create. This book is a very good example of ways to be on the guard against the negative effects. A+++
