Praise for Playstation Nation:

-Dr Kevin Leman, author of Making children mind without losing yours
Are my children spending too much time playing video games?
Why don't my kids want to do anything else anymore?
Is it risky to let my adolecsent play online games?
How do I get my kids to turn off their game box and enjoy real life?
Olivia Bruner was one of the millions of parents asking these questions.
When she saw video games overtaking her young sons` lives she decided to learn the facts behind addiction. What she found was highly disturbing:That most games are designed to be highly addictive and that this fact was not concealed from video games creators.
Now I know this book is largely adressed at parents but as I normally read adult-targeted books I thought it would be fine to read. As I also was addicted to video games,this book gave me courage to face my addiction and to learn why we are addicted. Study shows that 1 in 5 kids are (or were as now they have way more sophisticated games) is addicted to video games.When I had finished this book I vowed not to play ever again. I have held that vow thanks to my my parents and family.
Nowadays it's hard to just not play becuase nearly everyone is playing no matter the age;from 4 year olds to 50 year olds play. But still better to suffer temporarily than permanently. I think everyone should read this book although I recommend that parents first read the book and then (If they think it's okay) let their child/children read it.
