Publisher's summary

Are you addicted to playing digital games?

Whether you want to (1) reclaim your life, (2) help a friend who is addicted to gaming, or (3) just understand the dangers of online gaming, this audiobook will teach you everything you need to know.

Every addiction has its consequences.

There are negative consequences to a gaming addiction. This audiobook will help you fully comprehend the dangers and learn how to help yourself or others break out of the addiction.

Get some perspective on your gaming addiction.

I wrote Gaming Addiction to guide you through the process of evaluating your gaming activities to see what works and what is actually messing up your life. I know, I know, gaming is your life! But is it a life that will lead to good things, or will it ultimately take you to a place you don't want to go?

Get the best out of both "worlds".

It is possible to continue to play online and still have a happy family, loving relationships, meaningful work, and delightful social experiences. The challenge is not letting the draw of the game overpower what you know you need to do and who you want to be.

Gaming as avoidance.

I get it. Sometimes life is just too harsh. Yet, if you find yourself using your avatar more often than your real name, you're in trouble. Only real-world social interactions can help you truly grow and develop as a person. In this audiobook I offer a variety ways you can interact safely, without hiding behind an avatar.

You can enjoy a truly full and enjoyable life again.

Set yourself free: Buy it now!

A serious disease

A horrible activity that is worthless and damaging to children as well as adults in very real ways. I recommend this book.

There is nothing here.

This has little more than an explanation of what gaming addiction is (like we don’t know) and the extent of the problem. It provides a very small handful of tips for dealing with gaming addiction, but provides very little detail. The biggest waste of my time I’ve spent my money on since the last game I bought.

Pamphlet, Not a Book :(

Ridiculously short. Full of obvious observations and ineffective advise. Please don't waste your time or money!
