Are We Too Attached to Our Phones? with Shannon Algeo

Exploring Tech Attachment and Recovery

In this episode, I sat down with Shannon Algeo to explore ideas from his new book The Power in Your Hands. We talk about our complicated relationship with technology and how smartphones shape our emotional lives. Shannon explains the idea of digital attachment and how our interactions with devices often mirror patterns found in human relationships.

We look at the behavioral and psychological mechanisms behind technology addiction and the growing agreement that constant connectivity affects attention, presence, and identity. We also discuss practical steps individuals and communities can take to reclaim focus, strengthen real‑world relationships, and build richer offline lives. Hope you enjoy it, find value, and share it with a friend.
