Living in an age of digital distraction has wreaked havoc on our brains--but there's much we can do to restore our tech-life balance. We live in a world that is always on, where everyone is always connected. But we feel increasingly disconnected. Why? The answer lies in our brains. Carl D. Marci, MD, a leading expert on social and consumer neuroscience, reviews the mounting evidence that overuse of smart phones and social media is rewiring our brains, resulting in a losing deal: we are neglecting the relationships that sustain us and keep us healthy in favor of weaker and more ephemeral ties. The ability to connect and form strong social bonds is fundamental to human experience and emerged t...

Traducere de George Chiriță „Narațiunile din jocurile video sunt fascinante. Într-un fel, sunt niște versiuni interactive ale poveștilor cu care ne delectăm la televizor sau la cinema. Au ceva de spectacol dramatic, de roman sau de poveste spusă în jurul focului. Când te gândești că aproape fiecare copil se joacă pe computer, se poate spune fără exagerare că acestea sunt formele narative principale din secolul XXI. Cu alte cuvinte, jocurile video sunt noile povești de adormit copiii, noile basme, noua mitologie, poate chiar și noua Scriptură. Sunt cea mai proaspătă formă de comunicare scrisă și înregistrată.“ — JORDAN SHAPIRO „Jordan Shapiro risipește temerile celor care se plâng de carențele educative ale noii generații conectate.“ — HOWARD GARDNER „Noua copilărie trebuie citită de părinți și educatori! E o resursă incredibil de prețioasă pentru dezvoltarea sănătoasă a familiilor și a copiilor în lumea tehnologică de astăzi.“ — WENDY KOPP

For the past half century, intellectuals and other critics have lamented America s descent into a therapeutic cultureor in Christopher Lasch s lasting phrase, a culture of narcissism. But is that the case? The essays in this collection take a fresh look at therapeutic culture and its critiques. Rather than a cesspool of self-involvement, therapeutic culture may instead be a productive and meaningful way that people negotiate with issues of culture, society, race, gender, and identity. Most important, the editors and contributors grapple with the historically and socially constructed nature of therapeutic culture and its influence. With its dazzling array of contributors and perspectives, this is a book worth getting off the couch for."
