Many Americans are almost constantly online to some degree. Lured by the streams of television shows and movies or the scrolls of social media, there's more content available in a handheld device than ever before. But what happens when the content we consume ceases to bring us pleasure or inhibits productivity in our daily lives? In this episode, we dig into the psychology of digital media. Why are we unable to put down our phones? And what can we do to prioritize the content we enjoy without feeling trapped in front of a screen?
