Dopamine's Deception: The False Rewards of Social Media

Social media is smart. They know how to hijack our brain. So that's why our brain gets tricked, that we're being productive because of those dopamine rushes.
Why does checking your phone feel so satisfying, yet leave you feeling empty? Johan dives into the brain’s reward system in this episode, explaining how dopamine—the chemical responsible for pleasure—tricks us into thinking we've achieved something when we really haven't. You’ll learn how the constant buzz of notifications and the allure of social media can create a false sense of accomplishment, making it hard to focus on real-life goals.
Johan shares practical tips to reclaim your time and attention, urging listeners to be mindful of their digital habits. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to break free from the grip of phone addiction and find genuine fulfillment.
