My new Book is Out!

So I have been working on this book with my Co-Author, Jenny Black, for just over 2 years now. But this labor of love is complete and up on Amazon.

Here is a link:

What is it about? I’m glad you asked. Here is the description on Amazon.

Our Digital Soul guides you through the overwhelming maze of modern life to the life you really want, as it takes a hard look at the impacts of digital media and the trauma that results for all ages and every generation.

Written by Marriage and Family Therapist, Jenny Black and Digital Marketing Executive and Organizational Psychologist, Bob Hutchins, the book takes a hard look at the impacts of digital media and the trauma that results for all ages and every generation.

Backed by extensive research and experience, the authors share their own unique personal journeys as well as those of their clients to explore the effects, the science behind it, and a path where we can recover and thrive alongside our digital reality.

Both Black and Hutchins have delivered Tedx Talks on the subjects of the slow drip of media trauma, ambiguous loss, and tragic optimism.

What Other People are Saying…

“Our Digital Soul is an essential read for anyone looking to make sense of the role technology plays in our lives. Jenny Black and Bob Hutchins offer a fresh, insightful perspective on the impact of digital media, and provide thoughtful guidance on how we can recover and thrive alongside our constantly-connected world. If you’re looking for a roadmap to navigate the overwhelming maze of modern life, this book is for you.” -Steven Pressfield, Author of The War of Art

“In this book, Jenny Black and Bob Hutchins take a fresh look at how technology has shaped our lives in many ways. They offer insightful guidance for navigating the overwhelming maze of modern life while also providing practical tools that can help us recover from its impacts. You cannot afford not read this insightful work!”

-Ian Cron, Author of The Road Back To You and host of the podcast, Typology

“Mic drop for Our Digital Soul, as we have no idea what we have subscribed to in our participation with media. The ripples of effects are just starting to percolate. Jenny and Bob ride the wave of the necessity and the consequence of what is about to be revealed and needs to be healed.”

-Jacquie Jordan, Two Time Emmy Nominated Television Producer, TEDx Speaker & Curator, New York Times Best Selling Publisher

“Our Digital Soul is a metaphor for what we need right now: A therapist and a media professional charting a path forward for a device-saturated society. I’m glad for comrades like Jenny and Bob who are speaking with the urgency and thoughtfulness our relationship with media tech deserves.” -CJ Casciotta: Author of Get Weird and The Forgotten Art of Being Ordinary: A Human Manifesto in the Age of the Metaverse

“The battle between soul and technology continues, and it seems that our soul is losing. This book explains why, what’s at stake, and what we must do to live as whole humans, fully alive. Our future depends on us getting this and taking action.”

-Jeff Goins, bestselling author of The Art of Work

“We all know something is wrong; we all feel it, even if we aren’t sure, or are reluctant, to name the cause. Co-authors Black and Hutchins correctly draw attention to the overwhelming increase of pace at odds with the human’s capacity to adapt. Crucially, this book not only blows a loud whistle, it also shines a bright light forward, and to break, ‘the cycle of abuse;’ and as more of us heal ourselves, I have hope we can heal each other.”

-Andrew McLuhan, director, The McLuhan Institute (Grandson of Marshall McLuhan)

I hope you can help us out a buy a copy or two, and leave a kind review.
