Calm the Noise by Nidhi Gupta MD
In Calm the Noise, Dr. Nidhi Gupta addresses the silent epidemic of digital addiction by focusing on how adults — not just children — are deeply affected by constant connectivity and notification-driven lives. Gupta shares a pivotal moment: realizing she’d become entangled in her phone while her children waited outside school. From there, she combines clinical insight with personal experience to reveal how screens hijack our brains, erode focus, disrupt sleep, and heighten stress. The book walks you through understanding the “trigger loop” that keeps you hooked, identifying the broader mental and physical impacts, and applying strategies to break free. Rather than telling you to abandon technology, Gupta guides you in redefining your relationship with it — using devices as tools, not traps — so you can reclaim presence, attention, and connection with what truly matters.
