Addiction is a scary word, but it's likely we'll have all come across it in some form or another throughout our lives.

David Gillespie is the author of Brain Reset and he says that we're more addicted than ever before and it's having a devastating impact on our mental health.

The good news is that there is a solution and that's the focus of David's latest book.

In this conversation we chat through how addiction works, how your smartphone is designed to hack your mind and how to break the cycle.

If addiction is a problem for you or anyone you know you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14 anytime for support.
