If you want a self-help book that will “help you conquer your mobile phone addiction” with a bright yellow cover (with blue and white elements!) – I recommend Make Time by Jake Knapp & John Zeratsky. I found it more informative and less aggravating than this book.

And I realise that most self-help use portmanteaus to attempt to distinguish itself but; “cellucination”, “phast”, “phub”? 🤢

‘First, every time we encounter a link, our brains must make a split-second decision about whether to click on it.’

That must be why you don’t have many footnotes to back up your claims. Footnotes must be a plague on our attention. 🙄

‘In many ways, the prefrontal cortex is what makes us human.’

Cool. I have ADHD.

All of these studies are very America-centric.

Which, most books by Americans have that tendency, but this is noticeably so.
