In 2021, the average digital media consumption reached 8 hours per day. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Youtube... the list of where we spend time is never ending.

The screens we devote our time to are exploiting our weaknesses and leading us on a path to attachment and even addiction, both to pornography and the devices themselves. 

In this episode, we visit with Doug Smith, author of [Un]Intentional: How Screens Secretly Shape Your Desires and How You Can Break Free, about how we are being effectively deceived by digital media and how we can resist this growing problem.

Key topics covered in this episode:

  • Addictions to digital media have the same patterns as drug addictions
  • Digital media is optimizing our brains for addiction
  • Practical steps to break free from pornography and screen addictions
