Description: x, 181 pages ; 24 cm
"Studies show that the average American is spending more than 10 hours a day in front of their screens... Too often, bad feelings from social media interactions linger, negatively affecting our off-line lives and worsening already present mental health issues. Instead of demonizing social media by taking a one-note, "digital detox" approach, Logged In and Stressed Out recognizes social media is not, itself, the problem--it's how we use it that needs examining."--Back cover.
