The Quiet Mind
Take Your Attention Back From the Screen That Stole It
Check your screen time right now. If that number just made your stomach drop, this book is for you.
Four hours a day. Six. Sometimes eight. That's not a habit — that's a third of your waking life handed to a slab of glass engineered to keep you looking at it. And here's the part nobody tells you: you didn't get weak. The game got rigged. You're up against the most sophisticated attention-capture machine ever built, refined every single day by people whose entire job is to keep you scrolling.
You were never given a fair fight. This book gives you one.

What's inside
- How the hook actually works — the exact psychological levers (variable rewards, infinite scroll, manufactured urgency) being pulled on you, named so they lose their power
- The truth about dopamine — why scrolling makes you feel worse and you keep doing it anyway, and how to reset a reward system that's been turned up too high
- The 72-Hour Reset — a contained, finite sprint that breaks the pattern and proves the cravings are survivable
- How to rebuild your phone — the exact settings, in order, that flip every default so your device fights for you instead of against you
- The friction strategy that beats willpower — make the bad stuff hard and the good stuff easy, so the better choice wins automatically
- How to be bored again — and why that empty space is where focus, creativity, and your real inner life live
- Protecting sleep, mornings, and deep work — the three highest-leverage hours of your day
- Kids, teens, and the family screen problem — and why you can't fix theirs without fixing your own
