NYU Professor: Do This for 2 Weeks to Get Your Focus, Motivation, & Life Back

Mel Robbins talks with social psychologist Dr. Jonathan Haidt about how constant quick dopamine from screens affects attention, motivation, and mental health, especially in boys. He explains why boys withdraw from school, friendships, dating, and work, and what social media does to girls during puberty. He also shares household rules for sleep, screens, and bedrooms, why he recommends no social media until 16, and how to help a struggling young man without shaming him. Listeners get a simple two-week protocol to cut social media and rebuild focus and drive.
