Split into three sections, this book covers loving (friendships, relationships and family), living (social comparisons, addiction and shopping, amongst other things) and learning (doomscrolling, clicktivism and feeling always on) online.
It ends with a section on how to be a good digital citizen, looking out for yourself and others.

Each section has a range of topics covered and examples shared from the author’s work in schools and from running workshops on relationships with tech, which are often unhealthy.

I liked the format and layout of the book and I think it would be a good read for adults feeling left behind by their switched on teens. It might date as the internet trends move on, but I’m sure trends like mindlessly buying stuff online are here to stay. Identify and break your bad habits with this insightful book.

My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open is the timely and appropriate book on mental health in the digital age that everyone should read. The internet and electronics have changed mental health wellness and we need to monitor how it affects us. This book brings that to light in an engaging and light hearted manor.

I really enjoyed this book. Right from reading the title it felt very relatable and relevant for the modern world we live in.

This, indeed, is a useful book for anyone who is affected by the modern times that we all live in. Easy to read, nice graphics and the overlook of the book!

I would enjoy having a physical copy of this book to reference, as it seems most useful to read the bits that suit your situation or satisfy a curiosity. The content is easy to understand, references real life situations, and explains how to manage each topic.

Quite a valuable read this day and age. The author describes the digital revolution, describing how it has changed our culture, relationships, and thought processes, and compares it to the Industrial Revolution. She begins with her experience at the beginning of the revolution in the 90s, then shows the progress to present day. I've learned several important terms such as "phubbing*, "sharenting", and"catfishing". This book can serve as an informative read and a reference book to be used as needed.

An absolute necessary for everyone who's using technology in their lives.

The author addresses the key issues facing us all today as we learn to live with the technology in our world.

Getting distracted, dealing with trolls, etc are the key issues covered.

Feeling overwhelmed by an addiction to a cell phone or other device? This book is a great, easily read, very succinct and enjoyable guide to breaking the bad habit. Full of useful information about how the addiction forms, the impact it has on our social life and family members, and the ins and outs of the new terminology that is associated with this, I found it a good handbook to have. Highly recommended.

My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open by Tanya Goodin is an informative and interesting book about the cyber world, it's impacts on our lives and on our relationships, and how to put technology back in it's place.

One thing that really impressed me in this book was the diversity of topics it touches on, including: fake news, sharenting, vampire shoppers, and my favorite chapter: digital legacies, among many others.
I also appreciated the resources found in the last few pages of this book, which I found quite useful.

My one and only problem with the book was that the same chapter pattern was used almost the entire time, and that really slowed me down, since it felt like I was reading the same thing over and over. A little more diversity in format would have been appreciated on my part.

Overall, though, this was a good book to become more aware on this topic. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get educated or further educated on this.

Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for giving me a free digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I loved the idea of this book, but I felt that the execution was lacking. Each chapter started with a story of someone exhibiting the particular behavior Goodin is discussing. But the stories all seemed to be abandoned in the middle. I wanted some resolution to the stories. This is ultimately why I can not recommend this book.

A book that intrigued me from the title and once I read the synopsis, I figured it couldn't hurt to read a book that makes me think about my internet and electronic use and evaluate where I could possibly make some changes to better my emotional and mental health. I loved how the book was presented with internet slang/terms and then describes how this term has come to be and the pitfalls that come with extensive phone, internet or electronic use.

I think this book would be an interesting read for parents with teens to read together to talk about all things electronic before they are given their own social media accounts and/or phones and electronics. I may buy this book for my niece before she embarks on the social media world.

There is no doubt that many people could use a digital detox, as being hooked on technology often influences friendships, family and romantic relationships in a negative way. This is why resources on how to be online more mindfully are much needed. I'm not sure if "My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open" by Tanya Goodin is a solution to the problem, but at least it is a conversation starter.

I found the design of this book beautiful and purposeful. After all, the author speaks to the avid users of internet with presumable shorter attention span, shaped by the hours of consuming content online. I assume this is the reason why the chapters are quite short. However, I am not sure how combining all the problematic behaviours around technology could help. Such phenomena as online trolling, existing in a bubble and phadultery require different approaches and solutions, which Tanya Goodin attempts to offer, but I found them not sufficient enough. It is not enough to equip people with strategies on how to use phone or shop online less, if the root cause of their behaviours is not addressed. To begin healing and create more meaningful relationships and fulfilling lives people need something more, as the advice in the book only scratches the surface.

Still, my hope is that this book will be a conversation starter, helping people address digital issues they're experiencing.

I learned a lot about our world from reading this book. I learned to better understand terms I have heard and learned new terminology for our time of which I had not heard. Very helpful in understanding our times and especially the younger folks with whom I work.

I really enjoyed this book. Goodin presented lots of facts along with personal stories that give insight as to why too much time online can be an issue. I loved the illustrations along with the summary pages at the end of each chapter.

This book is divided into 3 sections, they’re titled “Loving,” “Living,” and “Learning.” I connected with every chapter in “Living” as well as “On Tech-Life Balance” and “On Doomscrolling” in “Learning.” We all use our phones, computers, and social media, which is why I recommend this book to everyone. Goodin has great advice that we could all apply to our tech usage. Thank you to NetGalley and Quatro Publishing Group - White Lion for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.
