The New Media Epidemic

The Undermining of Society, Family, and Our Own Soul

About this book

A critical look at how new media undermines society, family, and our souls.

Dr. Jean-Claude Larchet, renowned for his examinations of the causes and consequences of spiritual and physical illness, tackles the pressing question of the societal and personal effects of our societal use of new media. The definition of new media is broad—from radio to smart phones—and the analysis of their impact is honest and straightforward.

His meticulous diagnosis of their effects concludes with a discussion of the ways individuals might limit and counteract the most deleterious effects of this new epidemic. Discover how digital addiction affects your mental and spiritual well-being, and what steps you can take to reclaim your life. This insightful guide is for professionals, scholars, and anyone concerned about the impact of technology on society and personal well-being.
