Overcoming Technology Addiction For Dummies provides readers with the first comprehensive, user-friendly overview of the topic and helpful and proven techniques and methods to help foster a healthy and sustainable lifestyle with technology. It is one of the first popular media-style guidebooks written for a general audience that covers not only the problem and the history of the addictive nature of the Internet, but also answers how to take back control over one's life. The book presets general knowledge on addiction, the neurobiology of why we are all susceptible to addiction, and how Internet and technology addiction is the latest reflection of addiction on a large-scale social level. The book educates those with no knowledge of addiction medicine with a primer on addictions and behavioral health and how to understand how Internet addiction is similar and different to other behavioral and substance abuse problems. Armed with a toolbox of questions to determine if one has developed problematic use or may be in danger of Internet addiction, readers are better prepared to find resources to help themselves, or if needed, where they might turn for outside assistance.
