Overview
Young adults (and plenty of not-so-young adults) are addicted to the Internet. No surprise there. It's easy for parents and teachers, politicians and pundits to brush off Internet addiction as a harmless, inevitable consequence of the digital age, a small price to pay for carrying the information super-highway around in our pockets. But what if I told you that young adults (and plenty of not-so-young adults) are stuck in a feedback loop of digital sexual stimulation, addicted not just to the Internet but to pornography and social media? And what if I told you that the consequences of these addictions may be quite dire--ranging from depression, anxiety and ADHD to sexual dysfunction and violence? And what if I told you that, as far as social media companies and pornography producers and anyone who advertises on the Internet is concerned, the feedback loop is exactly where we belong? This book pulls readers out of the matrix. Part manifesto, part autobiography, part self-help roadmap, Breaking the Feedback Loop is a concise, essential guide to porn and social media addiction written for young adults and anyone else suffering at the hands of the Internet.

This is a story of awakening...from the trance induced by all the harmless-seeming distractions of the Internet (social media, news feeds, porn). Turner does a highly readable job of sharing precisely how he unleashed his productivity and creativity. For example, when he eliminated porn, There was an immediate domino effect. ... I freed up mental resources. I was able to take challenging courses .... I processed information much more quickly using less energy. My memory was crisper, faster. I came up with creative insights more frequently. I attended social events and didn't feel weird, or awkward, or lonely, or creepy. I could carry on a conversation. I could make people laugh. Best of all, anyone can follow the trail Turner blazes in his book. Why not make your own experiment? Gary Wilson, Author of Your Brain on Porn .. . his case is convincing.
