Our brains are wired to notice danger, and for the first time in history, an entire infrastructure has been built around us to keep that instinct activated. Fear, outrage, crisis, and catastrophe command attention, shape our perception of reality, and keep us scrolling long after we hit information overload. The result is a distorted sense of the world—one that can leave us anxious, numb, and convinced that decline is inevitable.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDoomscrolling in the Age of Abundance\u003c\/i\u003e, Emma Varvaloucas, journalist and director of The Progress Network, offers a practical guide to understanding just how much the ways we get and receive information have shifted profoundly toward the negative since the arrival of smartphones and social media—and how to resist their pull. Drawing on overlooked stories of progress, rigorous analysis, and constructive voices from across journalism, politics, business, technology, and beyond, Varvaloucas breaks down how to stay engaged without surrendering to despair.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eReaders will learn to:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand how negativity bias and the modern media environment distort reality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecognize the difference between staying informed and staying activated\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuild healthier boundaries around our devices, social media, and the news generally\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFind credible, constructive voices and underreported stories of progress\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCombat helplessness with clearer thinking, grounded hope, and meaningful action\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt a time when pessimism often masquerades as realism, \u003ci\u003eDoomscrolling in the Age of Abundance\u003c\/i\u003e offers a smarter way to understand the world—and remember that the future remains unwritten.","brand":"BenBella Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48700887793919,"sku":"9798902680567","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9798902680567_s600x595.png?v=1781631995","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9798902680567","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
