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”? 🤢

All of these studies are very America-centric.
Which, most books by Americans have that tendency, but this is noticeably so.
