Brian Johnson (Heroic Wisdom Daily) summarizes Adam Alter’s Irresistible: technology is often engineered to create behavioral addictions (scrolling, gaming, binge-watching) via mechanisms like variable rewards and social validation. Johnson emphasizes that users aren’t morally weak but are being manipulated; awareness is primary, then hard boundaries (screen-free zones/times), limiting tools, and replacing screen time with movement, real connection, and deep work to reclaim attention and freedom.
