Nervous Habits - Episode 19: Look Up From Your Phone: Embarking On A Digital Detox, and Becoming A Digital Minimalist
Nervous Habits host Ricky Rosen addresses those pressing issues that are keeping you awake at night, including:
—Why in the last one to two years, young people have been increasingly more concerned about the amount of time they spend “screen-sucking”…
—The psychology behind why excessive social media use makes us anxious and depressed…
—How Facebook knowingly engineered moderate behavioral addictions into their platform, including the same strategy that casinos use to keep you playing their slot machines…
—Why turning off your notifications, deleting addictive apps, or even taking a digital sabbath will not remedy cell phone addiction…
—Why you should pledge to stop hitting the like button on social media, and finally…
—How to be more intentional with your phone use, and get back some of that autonomy that has been taken away from you.
