Here's Why Your Cellphone Is Dangerous For You... How often do you open your smartphone and suddenly find yourself having lost 30 minutes or perhaps hours of your day? What is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning and before bedtime? If the answer is "I look at my cell phone", so you really need to read this book. The human brain is wired to get little "happy hits" of dopamine off of social media posts, online videos, mobile games, and more. Our smartphones are engineered to make us crave them. They start controlling our behavior and thought processes. They attack our mental health and relationships. Just leaving your phone at home or forgetting it might scare some people. But it might have some advantages too. The relationships you build when being offline may be much more intimate and satisfying because you are not constantly distracted. It's true that our phones can bring us joy, new insights, and thoughtful moments. Sometimes they can make you feel less alone. But at the same time, they can cause envy, sadness, self-criticism, and even disillusionment or distrust... Modern devices and social media apps are designed to hook us in and keep us engaged, and this, in some cases can lead to behavioral addictions to technology. Using social media has become an integral part of our life, and if you're stuck at home, you might be tempted to cling to social media more intensely than ever. But this is a perfect time to do a detox, and you should try it for many reasons! At the end of this reading, you will know how to retrain your mind to take back control of your tech. And it's really worth it. Why should you lose precious moments of your life behind a cell phone when you could live unique moments off-screen? Live every moment to the fullest by learning interesting insights about social media and technology: Page by page, take what's yours back!
