Discover the psychology behind doomscrolling and why we become obsessed with bad news. Doomscrolling: Trapped in the Infinite Feed explores the science of negativity bias, anxiety, uncertainty, curiosity, habit formation, social media algorithms, attention economics, fear of missing out, emotional contagion, and the endless digital news cycle. This insightful and engaging book explains why frightening headlines and negative information can capture our attention, why we keep scrolling even when it makes us anxious, and how algorithms can reinforce compulsive information consumption. Learn how doomscrolling affects perception, attention, emotions, sleep, and everyday life-and discover practical strategies for breaking the infinite scrolling loop, building a healthier information diet, managing digital distractions, and staying informed without becoming overwhelmed. Ideal for readers interested in psychology, neuroscience, social media, digital well-being, technology, media literacy, anxiety, behavioral science, and modern human behavior, this book offers a fascinating look at one of the defining habits of the smartphone age and provides a thoughtful roadmap for reclaiming your attention in an always-connected world.
