Most people think they’re losing focus because they’re “lazy” or “undisciplined.”
The truth is much simpler — your brain is being overloaded by high-dopamine, ultra-fast content.
This episode breaks down the real cost of social media — not in hours, but in identity, clarity, and attention span.
And more importantly, how to reclaim your mind.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
• Why short-form content makes long-form feel “boring”
• How dopamine overload shapes your focus
• How apps trigger the same reward system as gambling
• Why micro-distractions weaken the prefrontal cortex
• How social media quietly shifts your self-image
• How your brain trades creativity for consumption
This isn’t a “quit social media” lecture.
It’s a guide to using it consciously — without letting it rewrite who you are.
If you want more clarity, better sleep, deeper focus, and a healthier identity… this episode will help you reset.
