Emotional Laziness in Video Games & Beyond: Freeing Yourself and Others from Unnecessary Misery in Video Games and Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798266117006)

You have been told "it's just a game" one too many times.

You have watched someone get publicly humiliated for getting frustrated in a match. You have seen cruelty go unchallenged because challenging it would mean admitting that what happens in a game actually affects people. You have felt something real inside a session and been handed dismissal instead of acknowledgment.

And every time you brought it up, the conversation stopped at: "Yeah, people are just toxic."

It never went further than that.

This book goes further.

Emotional Laziness in Video Games & Beyond is an honest examination of what happens to real people inside virtual worlds. The rage that has nothing to do with the game, the self-worth tied to a rank, the empathy that gaming culture has systematically discouraged, and the emotional patterns nobody questions because everyone is too busy dismissing them.

But it doesn't stop at the examination. It gives you the tools to engage with gaming and life with more awareness and less unnecessary suffering.

Behind every username is a real person feeling something.

This book is for the ones who already knew that and for the ones who are just beginning to.
