Book excerpt: An effective solution to the challenge of Smartphone Addiction based on the rich and successful tradition of the Twelve Steps.Smartphone Addiction is a new and troubling phenomenon that has burst upon an unprepared society with alarming speed. Many people crave the use of Smartphone Technology and its constant and effective system of sensory rewards in a strikingly similar way to any other addict. Smartphones and the complex software they run have been architected to promote continued and progressive usage. This sophisticated technology clearly feeds on natural addictive tendencies, and recent evidence suggests Smartphones are intentionally designed to be addictive. The Twelve Steps are one of the most effective methods for treating addiction in human history. Originating with Alcoholics Anonymous in 1939, the Twelve Steps have since been used to treat a variety of other addictions, including drugs, sex, gambling, eating disorders, and many others. Now in this groundbreaking work the Twelve Steps are applied to the complex and evolving contemporary phenomenon of Smartphone Addiction.About the AuthorJim Sugel is a Digital Marketing Consultant with many years of professional coding and consulting experience.
