About this listen
Technology is more and more present in our lives, which is a clear advance but also a danger, especially among the youngest people since they can fall into what is called cyber addiction. This has become a reality today. This health problem did not exist a decade ago and is taking on new victims and more and more young people every day.
Although the long-term consequences are still unknown, the fact that some studies indicate that 30 percent of young people who use the Internet on a daily basis are at risk of suffering from behavioral addiction means that one in three is at risk. While some countries are beginning to take steps to prevent it, others they have not yet realized the gravity of the situation, hence the need to disseminate the results of recent research in this regard to give visibility to a social problem that requires both preventive and treatment measures.

Although treating depression, anxiety, and panic attacks cost money, it is an investment likely to lessen the considerable burden of illness on the community. In this very informative book, anxiety is explained to be healthy, but it should be noted that when discussing anxiety, it is always regarded as a general term for physical, mental, and behavioral changes. In addition, because of the interwoven signs and symptoms, the author first distinguishes the symptoms between anxiety and panic attacks.

Nearly every depressed person is assured by doctors, well-meaning friends and family, the media, and ubiquitous advertisements that the underlying problem is a chemical imbalance. Such a simple defect should be fixable, yet despite all of the resources that have been devoted to finding a pharmacological solution, depression remains stubbornly widespread. Why are we losing this fight?

Americans have traditionally placed great value on self-reliance and fortitude. Recent decades, however, have seen the rise of a therapeutic ethic that views Americans as emotionally underdeveloped, requiring the ministrations of mental-health professionals to cope with life's vicissitudes. Today, having a book for every ailment, a counselor for every crisis, a lawsuit for every grievance, and a TV show for every problem degrades one's native ability to cope with life's challenges.

Now based on the most extensive study of long life ever conducted The Longevity Project reveals what really matters across the long run—the personality traits, relationships, experiences, and career paths that naturally keep you vital.

Challenging both the idea of the addict's "broken brain" and the notion of a simple "addictive personality", Unbroken Brain offers a radical and groundbreaking new perspective, arguing that addiction is a learning disorder, and shows how seeing the condition this way can untangle our current debates over treatment, prevention, and policy.

Americans have traditionally placed great value on self-reliance and fortitude. Recent decades, however, have seen the rise of a therapeutic ethic that views Americans as emotionally underdeveloped, requiring the ministrations of mental-health professionals to cope with life's vicissitudes. Today, having a book for every ailment, a counselor for every crisis, a lawsuit for every grievance, and a TV show for every problem degrades one's native ability to cope with life's challenges.

Topic is wrongly identified
My largest complaint is that this book is all about cyber bullying. The title leads you to believe it’s going to discuss internet addiction.
