The Research Experiment That Saved Me From Scrolling (& Learn to Love Reading Again)

TLDR

This video discusses a research experiment that explores how intermittent and uncertain rewards, similar to those found in Skinner boxes, can lead to compulsive behaviors, particularly in relation to phone usage. The speaker shares insights from the experiment and recommends three books to help combat excessive screen time and rediscover a love for reading. The video also outlines a comprehensive curriculum of 15 book recommendations to aid in personal growth and inner work, covering various psychological and philosophical theories.
