About this listen

The average person touches their phone over 2,600 times a day and doesn’t remember doing most of it.

What are you really reaching for? Comfort? Escape? A way to avoid silence?

Perhaps you’ve set the limits. Deleted the apps. Even tried giving your phone a break. But each time life slows down, your hand moves on its own. The constant checking, the foggy thinking, the hours lost in a blur, it’s not just a habit. It’s a loop. And trying harder isn’t helping.

That’s because most advice teaches you to resist the urge. This program does something different: it removes it entirely. Built on proven techniques, it helps you let go of digital dependency without shame or willpower. You don’t have to fight. You just need to rewire.

What you’ll unlock inside:

  • The hidden emotional triggers that keep you stuck in the scroll loop, and how to cut them off at the root
  • A short technique that neutralizes any urge in 90 seconds or less, even when the pull feels impossible to resist
  • How your brain confuses digital stimulation with real reward, and the simple rewiring method to flip the switch
  • The exact way your phone steals your attention span, and how to rebuild it with just a few minutes a day
  • A cognitive ritual that rewires your habits in the background without you needing to remember anything
  • How to access deep focus states even if you’ve struggled for years to stay present or engaged
  • What to do in the first 5 minutes of your day to stop the dopamine hijack before it begins

This system gives you everything you need to break free: fast-acting cognitive tools that interrupt the urge in real time, guided hypnosis sessions to retrain your brain, and subliminal audio programming that works while you sleep.

You don’t need to rely on willpower. What you need is a brain that no longer craves distraction.

And that starts here. Your clarity is waiting.

I bought this for my daughter who struggles with screen time and it’s been incredibly helpful. She said it was the first time she didn’t feel blamed for her habits. Now we’re both using the techniques together.

I used to check my phone all the time without thinking. It made it hard to focus on work or even enjoy quiet time. After listening to this, I started noticing when I felt the urge to reach for it. Now I’m catching myself before I start scrolling, and I feel more in control of my time. I still use my phone. I’m not perfect, but I feel way less stuck in the loop.

This audiobook, Social Media Addiction, completely shifted how I approach my phone usage. I was skeptical at first, expecting another generic self-help guide, but the focus on rewiring the brain through neuroplasticity was eye-opening. I loved the 90-second technique to neutralize urges—it’s simple, quick, and actually works, even in moments of weakness.

I believed I just had an unhealthy habit, but this audiobook showed me it's deeper and gave me tools that actually worked. The 90-second technique was surprisingly effective and I've already experienced less mindless scrolling. The voice of the narrator is calming and made the hypnosis session go down smoothly. I've been listening in the morning instead of checking my phone and it's staying me on track. This isn't willpower or guilt it's brain change. If you're caught in the scroll loop, this makes a real difference.

Hooked and Hijacked will open your eyes to the amount of time actually spent on social media. The book breaks down why social media is so addictive and what you can do to make your brain feel "rewarded" without being on the apps. I liked how becoming detached from social media is characterized as not logging off, but waking up. The rapid tools are easy ways to develop more mindfulness - helping you create a pause, such as a 90-second urge wave, to break the immediate cycle of dependence on the dopamine hit of social media interactions. To find these, along with longer hypnosis sessions and sleep audios to help rewire your brain all in one place is fantastic. Only thing I wished was for the narration of the chapters to be in a more "awake", direct voice, to differentiate from the voice used for the session or sleep work, but maybe that's how it's supposed to work. So many of us could use the awareness and self-regulation strategies in this book.

This book completely shifted how I view my phone usage. It goes beyond telling you to just quit and instead teaches you how to rewire your brain. The 90-second urge neutralizing technique alone was worth the read.

Instead of blaming or shaming, this guide walks you gently but firmly out of the fog. The CBT and hypnosis techniques are refreshingly actionable. I felt a change within days. If you're tired of setting limits only to break them, Hooked & Hijacked gives you a real exit.

I've watched a few documentaries talking about how social media is carefully designed to get people hooked for hours on end. It's no surprise that people are suffering from short attention spans. This book reveals techniques backed by science, and I have since recreated my morning routines based on what's being taught in the book. It's been a while since I felt calm first thing in the morning.

I’ve heard a lot about digital addiction, but this is the first time something actually helped shift my behavior instead of just making me feel guilty. The way it explained how dopamine and emotional triggers play into my habits helped me connect the dots on why I keep reaching for my phone even when I don’t want to. The short technique for breaking the loop in real time was super effective, and the hypnosis sections were a nice shift from typical self-help talk. It’s not hypey or preachy, just genuinely useful if you’re tired of being glued to a screen.
