About this audiobook

A former Big Tech product designer, one of the architects of the digital world that now holds us captive, reveals the spiritual consequences of our scrolling habits. He knows how the sausage is made because he spent years in the factory. In this unflinching exposé and guide, he pulls back the curtain on the sophisticated mechanisms of the attention economy, which were meticulously engineered to exploit our deepest psychological needs and keep us hooked. This book is an insider's confession and a path to liberation for anyone who feels their soul is being eroded by the endless feed. This is not another guide to managing your screen time or a simple digital detox plan. It's a profound exploration of what your phone is doing to the deepest part of you—the part that connects with others, finds meaning, and encounters the sacred. The author introduces the concept of the 'Scroll Wound,' the cumulative spiritual damage from chronic digital compulsion, arguing that our struggle isn't a personal failure of willpower but the result of being outmatched by a system designed for addiction. This book validates the feeling that something more than just time is being stolen from us. Moving beyond critique, "Doomscrolling & the Divine" offers a new language and a tangible path toward healing. Drawing from ancient contemplative traditions and his own transformative journey through a Benedictine monastery, the author provides a framework for a new kind of spiritual practice. Learn how to build an 'attention altar' in your own life, engage in practices that lead to deep rest, and reclaim your focus from the algorithms of Big Tech. It's a guide to rediscovering the divine in a world of digital distraction and finding a more human way to live with technology. If you've ever felt the phantom buzz of a nonexistent notification, fallen into the pit of the comparison spiral, or looked up from your screen to realize hours have vanished, this book is your lifeline. It is for anyone who suspects their relationship with technology is costing them their peace, their presence, and their soul. Begin the journey of reclaiming your attention, reconnecting with the people you love, and learning to see the sky without a camera again.
