The science behind why we're "addicted" to our phones with Dr. Maxi Heitmayer
Apr 11, 2023 Season 1 Episode 8
Joey Odom

In this week's episode of The Aro Podcast, Joey sits down with Dr. Maxi Heitmayer, an expert in smart device and technology use, a lecturer at the University of the Arts London, and a teaching fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Joey and Maxi dive deep into our relationship with our devices, particularly our phones, and explore why we're so tethered to them. Maxi shares fascinating insights on how we interact with our devices and how this influences our decision-making processes, particularly regarding the use of our time and direction of attention. He also shares some hopeful insights into why we don't necessarily have an addiction to our phones, but rather a set of bad habits that we can change over time. You don't want to miss the valuable, science-backed, insights about our phone use in this episode!
