Instantly engaging and eminently accessible . . . . an enlightening and cautionary exploration of an increasingly intrusive aspect of modern society.' Booklist While the Internet can enhance wellbeing, 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. Aboujaoude dubs this new self our epersonality and argues that its traits are too potent to be confined online. Offline, too, were becoming impatient, unfocused, and urgedriven. Virtually You draws from Aboujaoudes personal and professional experience to highlight this new phenomenon. The first scrutiny of the virtual worlds transformative power on our psychology, Virtually You demonstrates how real life is being reconfigured in the image of a chat room, and how our identity increasingly resembles that of our avatar.
