Instamozek - Stres, deprese a úzkosti zapříčiněné moderní dobou – Hansen Anders (2021)

Do you have trouble falling asleep? Can you concentrate for long periods only with difficulty? Do you long for the perfect life of social media celebrities? The book by a renowned Swedish psychiatrist explores the impact of the 'digital age' on the functioning of our brains. The stress we experience today is not the same as that of our ancestors. How do we cope with it when mobile phones supply us with dopamine, thus fostering addiction? Moreover, they disrupt our ability to concentrate just by being nearby, even if we don't use them. When we take them to bed, it affects the quality of our sleep, and constant comparisons with others on social media don't help our peace of mind either. Children have already shown the most drastic behavioral changes ever recorded, and it is far from clear how the use of mobile phones and reading electronic materials will affect our learning abilities in the future. Not to mention the deepening sense of social isolation... The author offers 'first aid' in the form of tips on how to significantly change your lifestyle for the better, presents the latest findings from researchers in this field, and concludes with reflections on whether our brains can adapt to the changed conditions.
