Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

American adults are caught in a dangerous cycle: endless scrolling, public online spats, and shallow social media interactions that leave us more isolated than ever. Social media and our screen-driven culture have rewritten the rules of acceptable behavior. Our digital interactions are rife with exaggeration, rudeness, sarcasm, preening, and drama. The very tools designed to bring us closer together are driving us apart, and the fallout is hitting home-for us, our families, and our communities.In Stuck in Our Screens, Allen pulls back the curtain on this pervasive, addictive social drama that's reshaping our society. From heated online debates to viral outrage, we've turned emotional volatility and public performance into the new norm. What's worse, we're passing these behaviors to the next generation. But it doesn't have to be this way.This timely and thought-provoking book shows how we got here and, more importantly, how we can choose a different path. With a blend of deep insight and practical solutions, Allen explores how to reconnect with ourselves-and each other-in meaningful ways. By understanding the effects of our screen-obsessed culture, we can rebuild stronger, healthier relationships grounded in respect, kindness, and authenticity.Whether you're a parent navigating the digital landscape with your kids, a community leader, or simply someone seeking more understanding, empathetic, and relational communication (both online and offline), Stuck in Our Screens is your guide to stepping out of the chaos, and into a world that is truly more connected.
