Teen’s
Book Sheds Light On Gaming Addiction and Gives Other Players a Way Out
Miami, FL, December 14, 2022 — Teenager Tomer
Shaked admits that gaming consumed a large part of his childhood — years he
will never get back.
“Video games deprived me of many irreplaceable
experiences and moments, such as time with family and friends,” he wrote in his
new book, Game Over: OneTeen’s Guide to Kicking Video Game Addiction. “Simply put, video
games create a disconnect from reality, and it’s that disconnect that becomes
an addiction.”
It’s common for kids to think grownups are
overreacting to the surge in video game consumption, which makes Shaked’s
perspective and self-awareness that much more compelling, and worth sharing
with other young gamers.
In Game
Over, Shaked outlines his relationship with gaming, which began
innocently enough as a hobby before it escalated into an unhealthy obsession —
an account that will likely sound familiar to many parents and teens.
Shaked also shares practical advice to help
others who want to break free from gaming’s grip. He says his goal in writing
this book was to “inspire and influence kids and teens to put down the game
controller, cut the cord and live life to the fullest.”
Game Over: One Teen’s Guide to Kicking Video Game
Addiction is an important read that will help teenagers and
their parents recognize what video game addiction looks like.
“Our intent is to reach an audience that is prone
to video game addiction as well as those who are close to someone who is deep
into gaming,” Shaked added.
