About this ebook

Do you check your email or social network dozens of times a day without really knowing why? Have you asked yourself what could possibly justify this? Have you ever tried to measure the time it takes you? The answer will probably surprise and worry you as it is so enormous. On average, it is more than 3 hours per day, or 100 hours per month! This phenomenon is the symptom of an addiction, a digital heroin, which exceeds all others. No need to go looking for it, it comes to us and it is just a click away!

This book is a real work of investigation which answers, with scientific studies, all the questions concerning the capture of attention by screens, the available brain time to use a famous expression. It pierces the mysteries of digital platforms and the mechanisms they use, technology and psychology combined, to make us spend more and more time in front of the screens. Finally, this book gives a free and simple method, within everyone's reach, to free ourselves from this new kind of drug. And it changes the life. The author did it. You can do it.
