Distraction Is Stealing Your Consciousness | Cody Cook-Parrott
About this episode
Cody Cook-Parrott discusses the impact of distraction from social media and the importance of attention in a digital age.

They had 70,000 followers and deleted every single one. Not paused. Gone. We talk about why your willpower is not the problem, how your attention is being stolen by design, and the one question that can pull you out of any doom-scroll: What am I avoiding?
