While the Internet can enhance well-being, Elias Aboujaoude has spent years treating patients whose lives have been profoundly disturbed by it. Part of the danger lies in how the Internet allows us to act with exaggerated confidence, sexiness, and charisma. This new self, which Aboujaoude dubs our "e-personality," manifests itself in every curt email we send, Facebook "friend" we make, and "buy now" button we click. Too potent to be confined online, however, e-personality traits seep offline, too, making us impatient, unfocused, and urge-driven even after we log off. This first scrutiny of the virtual world's transformative power on our psychology shows us how real life is being reconfigured in the image of a chat room, and how our identity increasingly resembles that of our avatar.--From publisher description. 000352093 650_0 $$aInternet addiction. 000352093 650_0 $$aInternet$$xPsychological aspects. 000352093 650_0 $$aInternet$$xSocial aspects. 000352093 650_0 $$aPersonality disorders. 000352093 85200 $$bgen$$hRC569.5.I54$$iA26$$i2011 000352093 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:352093$$pGLOBAL_SET 000352093 980__ $$aBIB 000352093 980__ $$aBOOK
