Why Adults Must Escape Digital Addiction to Save the Next Generation

Beschreibung

We thought we were in control of our screens - until we realized they were quietly controlling us. One afternoon, physician and mom Nidhi Gupta found herself glued to her phone, scrolling through photos, emails, and social media while her children waited, forgotten, outside school. That moment of regret opened her eyes to a truth she could no longer ignore: we are losing ourselves, our time, and our attention to endless digital "noise". In Calm the Noise, Dr. Gupta shares her personal journey and clinical insights into the silent epidemic of digital addiction. And it is not just the children, but also the adults who model and enable these habits. Through eye-opening stories, research-backed strategies, and moments of humor, she offers a wake-up call to reclaim our time, focus, and joy for ourselves and for the next generation. In this book, you'll discover: * Why adults and not just kids hold the key to breaking the cycle of digital addiction * How smartphones hijack your brain's reward system and erode your ability to focus * How to recognize the "trigger loop" that keeps you hooked and how to break it * How smartphone overuse affects not just your mental health, but also your sleep, weight, and hormones * How digital distractions fuel inefficiency and burnout in the workplace * Proven strategies to reclaim your time and attention at home, at work, and in public spaces * How to model healthy digital habits and protect your children from the pitfalls of overexposure * A roadmap to reconnect with what really matters: relationships, creativity, and peace of mind
