Anthony Ongaro of Break the Twitch shares how we're using social media the wrong way.

Episode 291: How We're Using Social Media the Wrong Way by Anthony Ongaro - Break The Twitch (Positive Facebook Use & Happiness).

After years of impulse spending on Amazon and elsewhere, Anthony Ongaro realized that his one-click purchase habits were more of a physical Twitch than an intentional action.

Break the Twitch is all about minimizing distractions and doing more of what matters.

It’s an unlikely career for a man--much less a man who was called a “serial dater” by CNN--yet that’s what makes Katz such a unique coach. By helping women understand men--what they think, how they act, and what they really want--he empowers them to make healthy, informed choices in love.
