Hey folks, this is Abel James and thanks so much for joining us on the show.

Do you feel like you're addicted to screens?

Technology was supposed to improve our quality of life,

but instead it's fueled a war on our attention, happiness, and sanity.

Some of the most intelligent brain scientists in the world are paid ungodly sums to make sure

you're as addicted as possible, hijacking your reward pathways

so they can mine your time, manipulate your thought processes, and sell your data to the highest bidder.

The endless pursuit of corporate profit has created an algorithmic

race to the bottom. Constant digital stimulation rewires our brains, upsets hormonal balance, saps our energy, and even degrades our ability

to feel connected to humans in real life.

The damage that social media and screen time can cause to mental health, especially for young women, is well documented.

Social media platforms contribute to body dysmorphia and eating disorders

and progressively lead to serious mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and far worse.

In the face of epidemic levels of loneliness and isolation, men who pursue pleasure from screens reinforce their addiction to digital stimulation

which causes testosterone levels, energy, and motivation to plummet.

So how can we reverse our over-reliance on exploitative modern technology and create real

authentic human connections and relationships in a digital age?
