Your brain wasn’t built for infinite stimulation, infinite choice, or infinite scrolling. Dopamine doesn’t create pleasure... it creates anticipation. And modern life traps us in wanting without ever letting the chase end.
This episode explains how engagement-driven tech hijacks the brain’s reward system, why novelty beats meaning, and why boredom isn’t a failure, it’s the reset.
No detox cults. No self-help woo woo.

Follow Unusual Practice if you’re tired of feeling wired, distracted, and weirdly unsatisfied.... aaaand want your attention back without disappearing off the grid.
