In this video, Zuby sits down with Richard Ryan to talk about smartphone addiction, screen time, and why most people are far more hooked than they'd ever admit. Richard breaks down one of the most powerful definitions of addiction he's come across — trading long-term values for short-term gratification — and shares practical exercises from his book to help people do an honest gut check on their habits. They dig into why community-based gyms like CrossFit and Orange Theory have dramatically better retention than global gyms, and how putting your phone down in public can make you feel completely isolated even in a room full of people. The conversation wraps with a fascinating look at where Gen Z and Gen Alpha are headed — and why society may be bifurcating into two very distinct paths around screens, faith, and real-world connection.
