Description: What is really happening in your brain when you use your phone and how to harness it. We pick up our phones on average 80 times a day and approximately a quarter of our waking hours are spent in front of a screen. We self - interrupt our work and social lives forgo sleep procrastinate important tasks and opt for digital distraction when we're bored or feel uncomfortable. Worst - case scenario we're told phone use is melting our brains creating a mental health epidemic and machines are taking over the world. But how much of this is true and what can we do about it? NHS neurology doctor and neuroscientist Faye Begeti explains the science behind why we have formed so many fixed and negative habits around our devices. She reflects on both deliberate choices and automatic behaviours whilst also challenging myths around digital 'addiction' the harmfulness of blue light and how dopamine functions in the brain. Rather than recommending a quick - fix digital diet or abstinence unviable for most people and pointless given the way our brain works The Phone Fix offers a practical guide based on neuroscientific techniques on building supportive digital habits. Begeti shows that technology is not inherently bad or frightening and that by better understanding what is happening in our brains we can replenish our willpower and improve our focus forming a healthier relationship with our phones and therefore the people around us.
