Review by Midwest Book Review for Conquer CyberOverload: Get More Done, Boost Your Creativity, and Reduce Stress Rating:
Technology is a wonderful thing, and technology is a terrible thing. “Conquer Cyber Overload: Get More Done, Boost Your Creativity, and Reduce Stress” is a guide discussing humanity and its dependence upon technology that perhaps has gone too far, to the point of controlling our lives. Joanne Cantor hopes to inspire readers to break free of technology’s grip and remember to use it as the tool it is, and to avoid being used. “Conquer Cyber Overload” is a choice read for those who don’t want to spend their day looking at a glowing screen.
Review by Charlene Rubush for Conquer CyberOverload: Get More Done, Boost Your Creativity, and Reduce Stress Rating:
Joanne Cantor admits it in her preface. “I’m a recovering cyber-addict.” Who better to help the rest of us, who are increasingly becoming “cyber-overloaded.” The author has a background in studying social, cognitive, and physiological psychology.
She is the founder of “Your Mind on Media,” which provides keynotes and workshops to businesses and associations whose members are struggling to balance their desire to receive information, entertainment, and connectedness with cyberspace, with their need to remain creative, productive, and psychologically healthy (p.viii).
She notes that her two most popular presentations are:
* You’ve Got Too Much Mail- Preserving Productivity Under Information Overload.
* This is Your Mind on Media- Staying Sane in a Crazy Culture.
In her introduction, she gives five questions to ask yourself, to determine if you are suffering from CyberOverload. She writes that “CyberOverload” happens when our gadgets and constant electronic linkages interfere with our ability to “lead the life we want.” (p.xi).
Some Chapter titles include:
* How the Digital Revolution Changed Everything.
* Now Where Was I? -Why Multitasking is Counterproductive
* I’m Drowning in It- How Information Overload Blocks Creativity
* That’s Entertainment?- Why We’re So Stressed Out.
* Yes, You Can- Taking Charge of Your Gadgets and Reclaiming Your Life
This terrific, easy to read book is chock full of practical steps for overcoming cyberoverload. Each chapter begins with a quote. Chapter Four starts with “Anxiety is so high now that normal samples of children from the 1980′s outscore psychiatric populations from the 1950′s.”- Jean Twenge (2000).
It’s becoming increasingly apparent, that the digital revolution has moved us forward in many respects, but is also stressing us out to unacceptable levels. This little gem of a book is a timely helpmate for those of us who find our days are defined by the computer, Blackberry, iPhone, etc. Do your brain a favor and read this book. It also would make a great gift for anyone running on CyberOverload Very highly, enthusiastically recommended!
Review by Noha Yousry for Conquer CyberOverload: Get More Done, Boost Your Creativity, and Reduce Stress Rating:
This book is a very quick and easy read. It provides a quick insight on how to make small steps to become less stressed and overwhelmed by the cyber world.
If you are looking for something in depth or drastic; this is not the book for that. Instead it gives some quick tools that you can easily integrate into your already existing routine and gives you the psychology and research behind it in details.
It is a good book as an introduction to simplifying or de-cybering your life (especially if you are hesitant and don’t think it’s possible), as it’s very simple, straightforward and easy to implement.
Review by D. A. Allen for Conquer CyberOverload: Get More Done, Boost Your Creativity, and Reduce Stress Rating:
The more that technology connects us, the more disconnected (distracted) we can get, which negatively impacts our stress level, personal down time, and quality time with loved ones. Cantor cites much research that shows how little our brain can process when do try to do certain types of tasks at the same time (also known as multitasking, but in reality is task-switching). She also gives suggestions and practical ideas at the end of each chapter in table summaries on such things as how to manage our high-tech devices, and keep email and other interruptions from impeding progress on the things we try to accomplish. These summaries help you use the knowledge you’ve learned in a practical manner.
Conquer CyberOverload is a small book. At less than 100 pages, you can read it in an hour or so, which is perfect for short attention spans. You can find a detailed version of my book review with insights I’ve highlighted from each chapter. Look for “It’s Time to Unplug” at my blog: dareesinsights (dot) wordpress (dot) com

One of my all-time favorite quotes is:
I wanted to change the world, so I got up one morning and looked in the mirror. That one looking back said: "There is not much time left. The earth is wracked with pain. Children are starving.
