@finelyshedded he talks about dopamine release from cell phone usage, lack of boredom, etc in hereJust finished listening to my first book of 2024 and it's one of the best I've read/ listened to in a LONG time.
It really spoke to me but one of my mottos for my kids is that we experience amazing things when we get comfortable being uncomfortable. It translates into athletics and our experiences in the outdoors really well imo.
My complaint is the book relies a lot on correlation and its relationship to causation. But i think the preponderance of the evidence helps.
It isn't just about one aspect of life but many of the ways (potentially negative) our modern lifestyle and choices have impacted us and how it was different not only from our earliest hunter/gatherer relatives but also from only a hundred or so years ago. I strongly suggest reading it.
