Doom Scrolling
معلومات عن هذا الكتاب المسموع
Why is it so difficult to stop scrolling through bad news, even when it makes us feel worse?
A disturbing headline leads to another. A few minutes of checking updates become hours of consuming crises, controversies, and alarming predictions. Despite growing anxiety and exhaustion, we keep scrolling.
Doom Scrolling explores the psychological and technological forces behind one of the defining digital habits of modern life.
Drawing on evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, behavioural research, and the design of social media platforms, the book investigates negativity bias, reward mechanisms, anxiety, and the endless flow of algorithmically selected information.
It examines how compulsive news consumption affects attention, emotional wellbeing, and our perception of the world, while exploring practical ways to interrupt the cycle without abandoning the benefits of staying informed.
An engaging exploration of digital behaviour, information overload, anxiety, and the struggle to reclaim control of our attention.
