Resetting Reward

The phone is the first thing touched each morning and the last surrendered at night, and the dopamine detox — imperfect name, real practice — is the attempt to interrupt that circuitry on purpose.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts run the experiment at every intensity: phone-free Sundays, thirty-day social media fasts, the neuroscientist-annoying full 'detox' weekends of nothing pleasurable at all. Writers describe the twitchy first days, boredom rediscovered as a doorway, attention spans measurably rebuilt, reading returning, and the relapses that taught them the point was renegotiation, not abstinence. The honest chapters separate the neuroscience from the metaphor and keep what works.

Who it's for

For anyone whose attention feels rented out, planning a reset, or rebuilding a relationship with a device that isn't going away.
