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.\u003cbr\u003eBut how much of this is true and what can we do about it?\u003cbr\u003eNHS 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.\u003cbr\u003eRather than recommending a quick-fix digital diet or abstinence     unviable for most people and pointless given the way our brain works     \u003ci\u003eThe Phone Fix\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636920995998,"sku":"UBD-9781803285566","price":44.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781803285566.jpg?v=1774399655","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781803285566","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
