Your phone isn't just an app—it’s an architect of your self-worth.We’ve all been there: you sit down for "just five minutes" to check a notification, only to look up an hour later feeling anxious, drained, and empty.

It’s the machine.In this urgent episode of Passion Struck, John R. Miles unpacks the "Big Tobacco moment" for the digital age. We dive into the unsealed blueprints from the recent Los Angeles and New Mexico trials that found tech giants negligent for deliberately designing addictive platforms. This is the definitive guide to understanding social media addiction: why you feel you don’t matter, and how the very apps designed to connect us are being used to harvest our self-worth.Passion Struck is the #1 alternative health and personal growth podcast dedicated to human flourishing and the science of mattering.
