Author: Matt Bodnar December 30, 2023 Duration: 51:47
In this episode we discuss the danger of getting addicted to your screens. We look at how technology is designed to be as addictive as possible, and how those addictions specifically make you spend more time on things like social media and news that make you less happy. We discuss how screens rob us of time and attention and why it’s so hard to break away from them. We also look at how-how you can structure your environment to spend more time away from your phone and create ways to get out of these addictive behavior loops with our guest Dr. Adam Alter.

Matt Bodnar hosts The Science of Success, a conversation grounded in the practical application of research rather than abstract theory. Each episode moves beyond simple self-help platitudes, instead dissecting the mechanics of decision-making, the hidden patterns of psychology, and the frameworks that high performers use to navigate complexity. You’ll hear from a diverse range of experts-from entrepreneurs and scientists to authors and researchers-who share actionable insights drawn from evidence, not just anecdote. The discussions are structured to unpack how our minds work, why we behave the way we do in business and social settings, and what tangible steps we can take to refine our processes and habits. This isn't about quick fixes; it's a deep, ongoing exploration of personal and professional development through a lens of rigorous inquiry. By focusing on data-driven strategies, this podcast provides a reliable resource for anyone looking to cut through the noise and understand the foundational principles behind lasting growth. Tune in for thoughtful analysis and conversations that challenge conventional wisdom, all aimed at helping you build a more effective and examined life.
