Overview

We are losing our souls. In 1990 more than 90% of U.S. adults identified as religious - today that number is 63%. Depression and anxiety are on the rise driven by an epidemic of loneliness, fear, and identity crises. There is a deep sense that something has gone terribly wrong in recent years. The truth is something has gone terribly wrong - we have lost our connection with God. In #God University Professor and PR Professional Megan Murphy makes the case that our dependence on the internet, and social media in particular, is damaging our ability to create deep relationships with other people, our deepest self and God. Drawing upon crucial research, the work of leading thinkers in media theory and social psychology as well as age-old religious wisdom, Murphy shows the impact the digital world is having on our minds, bodies, and souls. Some of the key insights Murphy covers in #God include: How the internet uses brain plasticity to physically change your brain. How social media companies use the same brain hacking tactics as casinos to addict users to their products. How social media leads to life as a curated zombie. How living in an algorithm-generated-filter-bubble cuts us off from other people, reality, and God. How the digital world discourages feelings of joy, community, and awe. Most importantly, #God offers concrete steps to develop a healthier relationship with the digital world and social media. The message of #God is that it is possible to enjoy the benefits of the digital age while still nurturing a deep and meaningful relationship with God.
