Detached: The New Science of Digital Loneliness and How to Reclaim Human Connection in a Screen-Obsessed World

In a world where we're more connected than ever, why do we feel so alone?

"Detached: The New Science of Digital Loneliness and How to Reclaim Human Connection in a Screen-Obsessed World" goes beyond the obvious warnings about social media and screen time that we've all heard before. You already know you should put down your phone more often. This book explains why you don't.

Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, "Detached" reveals the hidden mechanisms keeping us trapped in digital dependency despite knowing better:

• The Paralysis of Unlimited Options: Why endless choices in dating apps and social platforms make us less able to commit to real connections

• The Expectation Gap: How digital media creates impossible relationship standards that no real human can fulfill

• The Digital Nomad Mirage: The empty promise of location independence that often leads to profound disconnection

• The Dopamine Delusion: How tech platforms hijack your brain chemistry, creating addiction disguised as connection

Unlike other digital wellness books, "Detached" doesn't just tell you to unplug. It offers counterintuitive strategies that work within our digital reality, examining how these issues manifest differently across cultures, generations, and genders.

For millennials trapped in dating app cycles, parents worried about their screen-obsessed children, and anyone who feels the paradox of being constantly connected yet somehow alone, this book provides a roadmap back to authentic human connection in a world designed to keep us scrolling.

The digital age has created new forms of loneliness our ancestors never imagined. Understanding the psychology behind these patterns is the first step toward breaking free and reclaiming the deep human connections we all crave.
