In 2020 he gave a popular TED Talk, and has written four books on the subject, available through Amazon and other outlets.Prior to admitting his 24-year addiction, Joshua was a prominent magazine publisher, award-winning journalist, film festival founder and politician in central Maine.Early on, he recognized recovery was far more than just quitting the negative behavior of his addiction. It was about answering the questions: "Why did I become an addict, How did that make me the person I am today, What must I do to become the person I was truly born to be?"In 2017, Joshua launched ThatCornCoach.com. He has also appeared on several conference panels and has contributed articles about recovery to TheFix.com and Recovery Today magazine.His most recent book, I'm Reading This Book About Porn Addiction For a Friend, introduces readers who are struggling in early recovery, or looking for more information about a suspected addiction. It includes symptoms, stories of addicts Shea has worked with, and a series of activities to personalize the process.His third book, Porn and the Pandemic: How Three Months in 2020 Changed Everything was released in July 2020. It looks at how the world of online pornography changed overnight during the COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak with analysis and interviews from current and former pornography addicts, "cam models" who use sites like Chaturbate and OnlyFans, and a bevy of mental health and addiction professionals. Online pornography exploded during the pandemic right under most people's noses.He is also the author of The Addiction Nobody Will Talk About: How I Let My Pornography Addiction Hurt People and Destroy Relationships (2018), a memoir about his descent during the final days of his addiction, and He’s a Porn Addict…Now What? (2019) written for female partners of male porn addicts who are grappling with the revelation that their loved one is an addict.
