Book Description
Perform a Dopamine Detox the proper way - without feeling drained, deprived, or completely cut off from social media - so you can stop procrastinating, find your focus, and crush your goals! Do you find it impossible to focus? Have you tried numerous time management techniques to help you finish your tasks, but achieved very few results? Do you procrastinate more than you do actual work - and no amount of sheer will, stubbornness, or determination can keep you on track? Here's the good news: it may not be your fault! The bad news? The fault may lie with your phone. We all know, on some level, that too much of something is bad for us. Any activity - even if it's beneficial - becomes detrimental when done in excess. Exercise? Dangerous when done too often. Sleep? Sleeping too long can actually increase your risk for diabetes (among other things). Social media? Could be the reason you're perpetually procrastinating. Turns out that rush of happiness we get with every like, comment, and follow is caused by dopamine - the "feel-good" chemical our body releases whenever we hit the right triggers. And social media just happens to hit a lot of triggers. You really can have too much of a good thing. Josh Snider's extensive guide walks us through the process of understanding and performing a Dopamine Detox. Instead of just jumping in and teaching us how to do it, they first provide helpful explanations and plenty of background information to give us context. Snider illustrates the crucial connection between our internet usage and our dopamine levels, and how their direct correlation can harm us. Throughout the book, we are encouraged to make informed decisions - to know what we're getting ourselves into, and why we're getting into it. Aside from learning what a Dopamine Detox really is (and whether or not you need one), this book will also reveal: The 6 main compulsive behaviors a Dopamine Detox was meant to target and address; Common misconceptions about a dopamine detox that could sabotage your progress; 7 qualities that make the internet addictive - and why we find it hard to resist; Telltale signs that you could have high dopamine levels and the potential disorders this puts you at risk for; The hidden dangers of giving in to instant gratification - and how technology plays a role; 8 natural substances you can take to help lower dopamine levels without doing a full detox; 9 helpful ways to manage your emotions when handling/interacting with technology and social media; A full breakdown of a proper 9-week Dopamine Detox; The one organizing principle that addiction, procrastination, and instant gratification have in common - and why you need to know; 15 ways you can successfully establish technology boundaries - and why it's important to do so; Practical tips for practicing and achieving mindfulness to help further curb and manage your "addiction"; An extensive guide to increasing dopamine naturally using food, intentional movement, and other everyday activities; And much more. Doing a detox doesn't mean completely depriving yourself of happiness. It's about letting go of tech as a crutch and actually finding joy, satisfaction, and meaning within ourselves and being present to the world around us. You don't have to completely give up social media and Internet use. You just have to know how to use them with balance.
