What to expect
The influence of technology on hobbies and leisure time is quickly becoming a regular part of daily life, but how much do we really understand about how or why we're using it, and its impact on our health? This easy-to-listen guide is designed to provide all of the support needed to understand why we use technology the way we do, and how we can recognize when interventions are needed to help master our own technology use.
Following an effective Q&A structure and offering a valuable "dip in and out" approach, this book provides expert guidance on all the burning questions related to our technology use, with particular support for those struggling to regulate their own gaming and social media use. It focuses on the science and avoids scaremongering by simply addressing the bits you need to understand, what you can do about your behaviors, and how this can improve your productivity, mental health, sleep, and diet.
Helping listeners and their families take back control and feel better informed about the future use of technology in our everyday lives, this book is a must-listen for anyone wanting expert guidance on the issues that matter most.
