If you're overwhelmed with content, consider watching this. 

once you gain awareness of it, the multitasking, the overthinking, the brain fog, days being spent meaninglessly it hurts a lot and it feels like we aren’t living

What if the internet was shutdown for like 6 months to reset everyone’s brains.

Been an internet addict since I was a child, this is the ONLY self-improvement video that i've been able to finish till the very end. Silently crying like baby as i'm a typing this. We share a lot of opinions, and I just really needed someone to, as weird as it sounds, look me in the eyes and tell me that i have control of my life. I had forgotten, so just really, really, thank you.

You asked what my body's telling me; my body craves to go to nature to a forest, maybe a lake .... somewhere with fresh air and the sound of birds and water hitting the rocks and just being in there doing absolutely nothing, just wandering around and breathing with no humans or phones or anything. Not thinking about studies or deadlines or any project. Not feeling guilty or shame because i wasted time just peace

Quit instagram over six months ago. Trying to not get sucked in into yt shorts. Pinterest feels like a nicotine patch. I understand society and the world less and less. But somehow I get it more and more.

Okay so, I'm no expert in this, and I am still trying to manage the escape from the algorithm BUT something I noticed is that even using screen time to watch movies and shows is more productive than scrolling social media. At least for me, art inspires art. If I'm on my computer, but I'm watching something cool, that inspires things I can paint or draw, which is useful later to reduce my phone use and actually create stuff. Not all screen time is wasted if you use it to suit you ❤

My favorite tip: crafts! Knitting and sewing are my favorites, but painting, crochet, making things out of beads, embroidery, macrame, sculpting, any and all of these are GOLD for the brain! Start super small, super simple, in the beginning go for quantity rather than quality, do a lot of something small and watch yourself fall in love with a project that takes 150 hours to complete over several months (i did this with a vest i knitted). It also helps with fine motor skills, concentration, flow, etc. 100000/10 whole heartedly recommend

I love this channel so much! i swear this feels so dystopian.. that we are so addicted to our screens and so disconnected from the real world

the picking up crime and punishment cracked me up because that is exactly what i did after being told so by a productivity reel. tysm for the advice on following your intuition, gonna pick up a fantasy novel that i actually like

listening to this and scrolling through twitter is sickening

So refreshing seeing someone around my age talking about this. I feel so scared for my generation and how this is going to impact us in 10, 20 years. I hope we can change. I’m happy there’s a voice of reason among the crowd

I'm 52 and haven't seen a young man show such much wisdom and grace, you young man might be something special with this content. At my age we could have an actual conversation

I'm starting to believe the only thing that will help alleviate this "media indigestion" on a macro-social level is creating real communities, but real ones, not those communities that media and brands are constantly showing us, but a community based on sharing human experiences. I was wondering why it is so difficult nowadays to make new friends, and then I realized it's because we are always using our phones, I mean all the time, it's unbelievable. If we arrive minutes earlier at any place we usually go, we spend those few minutes mindlessly using our phones. Before this accessibility to digital consumption, we used to use those minutes to get to know the other people who share those spaces with us (and this applies to every single moment we are "waiting" for the next thing to happen). After realizing this I'm trying to just wait, observe and be present, be a real human in real time in real places...

my body lately has been telling me to do something with my hands; im chronically tired, but that doesn't mean i should be sitting doing nothing but scrolling, especially isolated in my room. my body is craving creativity in a physical sense in a social setting. what comes to mind is learning to knit or crochet and sitting on the couch with my family.

You know what, I’ve been unknowingly doing this for the past 5 years and couldn’t figure out why I was feeling so overwhelmed I thought collecting endless information was beneficial but ended up wearing me out. Thank you so much Josh keep doing what you’re doing.

It took me so much effort to not scroll pinterest or somt else while listening to your video, it shocked me, I had to physically restrain my hand from clicking off the video, this is.a good indicator of the need to change

I'm so overstimulated that I fell asleep to this, and I don't mean because it's boring, It's actually super insightful, but I've been watching whatever RU-vid feeds me, and even putting on a series and checking my phone at the same time, that watching this video was the most "quiet" my mind has been in a while that I dozed off, I didn't realize how tired and emotionally numb I actually was. Thank you for making this, definitely identified a lot and definitely finished watching it haha.

Man. Sitting in my bed. its 2 am. Normally watching some reels for hours now but i saw your video. Just klicked on it and the first 20 seconds let me feel like i am in a safeplace and that it will get better. I think many of us struggles with short content dopamine. Its like a drug. Your videos help a lot of people. Thank you for that! Greetings from germany 🇩🇪 wish you all the best

An strong solution for youtube-only addicted people- I just never go to social media bcz of that instant gratification stuff. As i highschooler, i dont really need that too. I dont have a social media account at first place so i dont have the need to activate any to check and scroll.... All i do is just mindless scroll on youtube. The best technical solution for those who r just addicted with youtube but still wasting away their most part of day is- Delete and pause the history of youtube, no more recommendations and your home page gonna be blank. Now you choose the video you want yourself to consume from an already-subscribed channel. You yourself wont be able to bust away any more than 2 hours a day, you will fed up and start going for the work you should really be doing.... This Works fr.

Wow you’ve really called me out. I’ve isolated myself so much and live in that depressive state of instant pleasure

Bro the pottery class example and not needing to “find a reason” to talk to someone you already share similar passions with was such a huge realization. Great stuff man, we need more people like you to keep our heads straight

You look 13 but have the wisdom of an old man. People underrate simple things like writing, drawing, painting, walking, reading. You don't have to go be the best at those things, its doing them for the sake of doing them+remembering that sm joy lies in the slow paced things. You also end up naturally working through issues, because you're intentionally aligning your body and mind. It just works idk the specific science. Same for drinking more water or eating better. Do a little and introduce it to your life, then accidentally you do end up just craving those things. And exercise for the benefit of your mental/physical wellbeing+for strength+fitness. Dont do it to punish your body or with harsh body goals in mind. Just reap the endorphins and the rest comes.

Such a big point - if we can connect you back to your child like sense or wonder and play, it will be very very easy to stay present

that desire we all have to connect with and talk to others is very present in myself, but what else is present is the fear of being seen as weird. i know i'll have to get past that but recognizing it is the first step.

Dude, this really helped. This is a kind of wild coincidence because right now as it's the summer holidays I have this freedom to do things, but a lack of structure, and it's making me feel more 'lost' than usual - so today I made a little list of things I actually wanted to do. Play some guitar, maybe arrange some music I can't find sheet music for online, work on my english portfolio, listen to an episode or two of a podcast I like, play a video game, draw. Even when I started looking through youtube earlier, I was trying to do it mindfully and really engage with videos I actually thought were interesting - ones that my 'spark' drew me to. And then this video!! Thank you so much, I'm absolutely going to take on board the advice you've begin. I'll find my spark. We all will.

this was like aloe vera for my brain. i’ve been feeling so alone and hopeless and despairing about how algorithmic everything is starting to feel, so this video was a breath of fresh air

“You might not have everything you need right now, but what you do have is what you paying attention to.” That clicked with me hard because really what you give your attention to is what you are and what you will be. Since COVID, I lived in the digital world more than in reality, spending the majority of my time on scrolls and meaningless media. And now, it’s a struggle for me to do the human things. I lost my self, my passions, and the feeling of living a life.

Love this because it's the first I've seen where I didn't feel guilty and dreadful but instead inspired and optimistic. Also completely unrelated, but amazed how your shirt matches the color of your eyes.

I was talking about that with my therapist one hour ago, guess the little man inside my phone heard me and suggested me that video. It is really important. I've got to the point where i have a headache now that has been going for like a month, nonstop. I do nothing but stay inside my room, scrolling through those little videos, it has ruined me. I have been an cocaine addict and i can say it is the SAME sensation, the emptiness, the nothing, you feel like a zombie after the minute you close the app. I can't read a book, i can't watch things that have more than 10min, i can't focus. Your video really meant a lot to me, it helped me understand a lot, thanks. Hope we can all get through this and not get to the point where everyone is sick like this. I really worry about the children who are raised with a phone on their hands, technology is really amazing but it can be poison. (sorry about my writing, english is not my first language)

Last week I decided to delete twitter and tiktok for this very reason. I'm a person struggling with post traumatic stress and the algorithm just kept recommending me ragebait content that would remind me of my own worst memories, and one night struggling to sleep I decided I just couldn't take it anymore. It's only been a few days but my life already feels like it has improved :)

as much as the algorithm-based content sucks, sometimes it feels like the algorithm knows exactly what you need. like when youtube recommended me this video. thank you so much! this is incredibly refreshing and reassuring. will be thinking about this and practicing a lot of what you said.

this might be one of the most important things i’ve ever watched, this is going to stick with me for a long time

thank you very much. i just deleted my youtube history and paused it. i am now only receiving content i conciously subscribed to rn. feels refreshing

This video has helped me a lot with parsing through these ideas without shame or guilt. It’s also just really inspiring and comforting to be reminded that the fulfillment and richness that I seek is still there! I haven’t squandered my soul! I’m going to go outside now and when I get back I’ll email my old pottery studio to see if they have an opening in their classes :)

I've been following the steps you mentioned for a week now. Some steps I already knew, others I didn't. And I was feeling very frustrated and overstimulated on the day that I first watched the video. I'm back here 7 days later to leave this comment. I feel so much better, I've uninstalled most of the social media apps and I'm back to reading and watching my TV shows. Thank you, your video was the push I needed. The way you spoke really motivated me. Hug from Brazil.

Dude, your videos are insanely helpful. Been feeling like I hit a rut with the things I’ve had lots of success in. I can honestly say that overstimulation has been a massive part of that feeling and I’m ready to get back to ME and making sure I continue to smash my goals. I have a feeling you’ll be someone that history looks back on in amazement. Gonna follow you throughout this journey, bro 🙌🏾💯

since you asked what my body is telling me: my body wants to do art again i thought i fell out of love with it because of depression and self harm, this video really reminded me that i am a human and i deserve something as simple as trying to paint and draw again

The fact that I was already doing alot of the tips you gave just shows how intuitive this whole process is. Everyone who's doing this all does the same things and uses the same methods,the answers are inside of us we just need to be willing to listen to them

I used to be rather addicted to social media and the internet, along with the tide of influencers promoting veganism and cold showers and I also watched booktube. My life was all about that idealised lifestyle where I read 40 books a year and jogged, but I've regressed into not reading at all and no exercising but scorlling my phone almost every second in my free time. I think I was always built this way but that my attitude was always problematic. Just that my attention was in a specific sphere of the internet and now that I escaped it, I bounced back into the regular overconsumption. Sometimes you need to get worse before you get better, I'm trying to commit myself to feel human again but it's still very much distracted and living in a fog. Anyways, putting this out there in case someone else also is in the same headspace as me, you're not alone bud. We exist together running in cycles we hope to break

Damn son. Sunday service couldn’t have came at a better time😭🙏🙏🙏

You have no idea how much hope this has brought into my life. Watching everything that's happening in the world, in watermelonia (not a joke, just to avoid getting the commnet deleted by yt), it's been overwhelming to say the least. And no matter how many reels or shorts I go through, they're almost never enough to "numb the pain". It's kind of like antibiotic resistance, even the quick hits of dopamine stop working after a bit. That's where you come in. Thankyou, Josh. A suggestion for the future, I'd love if you make longer versions of the anti-videos here on youtube.

A shining light amidst a sea of unfiltered noise and polarizing content. I feel blessed that I came across this video today and my weary soul is eternally grateful for this message.

This is, without a doubt, the most important video I have ever watched. This information is life-changing and hugely impactful. You are going to have an impact on the world one person at a time. You are incredibly wise, and I am so grateful you showed up for the first time in my feed today. Thank you. I will be putting your suggestions into action. You also give me hope for the future.

When you did a comparison with the climate change… I fully agree with you. That is so true. Thank you.

I've been trying to live like back in the 90s during my childhood where technologies still pretty limited, it kinda help somewhat to enjoy the moment that I have. This video totally helps me clarified that what I'm doing is right, thank you :)

You make it so clear! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. God bless you!

wow, you mentioned all the phases I went through since last year with social media, it's like my brain knew it needed less time scrolling and more time consuming meaningful content. I can say my levels of anxiety decreased and I feel I have more power or control over my free time. turning off notifications is key, as well, it helps a lot. great video btw!

I’m going through so many medical issues, trauma and healing . Since finding all he amazing help here on RU-vid, our medical system in Canada is broken. Finding the help I need has certainly been overwhelming and yes overstimulation brought me here. Thank you ✌️

Thank you so much, the way you present your thoughts as if you are dialoguing with us is very comforting

thank you so so much for your videos. i cant even begin to explain how much they help me return to my senses in a way. i got very overstimulated today again, didn't know what to do, thought "ain't no way a video will help me when im feeling this bad", decided to watch a video of yours nonetheless, because they have helped before - and i already feel so much better than i had 20 minutes prior. really, honestly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you //non-native speaker, sorry if the comment is worded weirdly

I almost dismissed this video because you look very young, and didn't think you'd have anything helpful to say. But I'm glad I watched. You have an old soul and are wise. Also, your calming voice is great for discussing these stressful topics.

Thanks a lot. You are clever. I like your non-blaming approach. Responsibility is so liberating. No shame nor guilt. Only action.

One thing that helped the passive consumption on youtube - turning off the auto-play. I didn’t realize how much I let videos just play in the background while I did things around the house. Now there’s no string of videos that’s just noise in the background, and I’ve found curating the feed a lot easier.

This video feels like a breath of fresh air. I have never left a comment on a video before because it makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason n I wanna leave this message here to challenge that discomfort. Thanks for some seriously needed motivation and change of perspective

I was feeling numb and sleepy before watching this because I was kind of triggered. After watching this I started to feel warm, I really have the power to get out of all of this mess. I started feeling safe and secure after watching your video and indeed I have started taking action already but still I go back to scrolling, it has reduced though. I deleted insta yesterday night and I felt better, I thought I could never get out of this but I can and we all can. Let's sit with those uncomfortable feelings and journal them out. We can all go back to be what we always wanted to be.

I admire how articulate you are and the specificity with which you consistently speak!

i loved everything you said. as you said it would have been nice talking about this to each other face to face, but you did an incredible job to convey what you wanted to say in the most clear way possible. thank you for the genuinity and advices!

your videos are like a breath of fresh air like fresh fruit tray in in a gas station snack selection of content

God, I love this man.

really needed this!! This is such a beautiful concept. It was extremely refreshing too to listen to your well-spokenness and lack of the word ‘like’ haha. Keep doing what you’re doing!!

Watching this made me feel safe, secure and like I’m able to change. Thank you from England 🌺🌼⭐️

Thank you for the checkpoint, I like the sentence of our attention being our freedom, it helps to think of what am I investing my time or what am I choosing to tire my brain with. Very much aprecciated 🌷

this was so wholesome to watch 🤍 thank you for this, your voice is lovely and this was so calming to listen to - an amazing podcast!

Great video man! Did NOT expect this much detailed insight, and I am positively surprised! Subscribed

Great vid per usual, I like the new bg as well. The stuff you said in the beginning about AI resonated with me especially, I’d love to hear more content about dealing with AI anxiety if you have more to say on the subject!

2am and you’ve been showing up on my yt feed for a few weeks by now and finally gave one of your videos a shot, should’ve done it earlier! this year i started playing more narrative-driven videogames and i feel like it does the job in redirecting my attention, with that im also getting better at reading articles online and books, i feel almost ready for crime and punishment

Keep up your work man, your daily videos singlehandedly keep my sanity.

The way he speaks to you reminds me of my online speech professor, and I mean that as a huge compliment! He's so good at this

My body's telling me to make art, to walk in a beautiful place with a dog, to breathe good air, to making lasting memories with friends I don't have, because most of the people my age can't stop being on their phones all day, sharing all tiny bit of their life with strangers, scrolling trough brain rotting memes, making meaningless, ignorant, immature, full of hate, disinformation and lack of empathy... Then if you don't do the same, you're weird. I can't even take a walk near my house because it is dangerous. I live in front of a big park but i don't have money to pay them everyday. I can't have a dog, because i cannot leave my house unless I have someone with me or a car. Thinking about art for me is depressing, because it seems like no one can appreciate this things anymore, and it is only getting worse with AI. I can't have peace doing "non-productive" activities because I feel like I'm living in a competition all the time... I hope I can overcome this feeling and people stop rotting their brains like that, then maybe we can bring back the great moments my parents had when they were young.

This is just what I needed to hear. Especially the last 10 seconds when you challenged us to ask ourselves what we will do next. I immediately closed all the tabs I had open of meaningless content. It felt really empowering. Thank you!

I love these kinds of videos I've been coming across where it's just another person around my age being real about being human. It's really nice to know that a lot of the feelings I have are shared and acknowledged. I run into a lot of "not trying hard enough" or "not being good enough" and I really appreciate the calmer videos that are just about taking a deep breath. This video especially gives me a little guiding light to direct me towards meaningful engagement with the things I enjoy. Thanks for that. I'm excited for my future, but I'm worried I'll get caught up in the instant gratification feedback loop and trip into a bad state of mind. I'll probably come back to this video to avoid it. :)

It’s terrifying to realize how much short form content has ruined my memory and care. I’ve seen so many videos like this one that give me a boost in the moment, but so quickly I forget I even watched it and go back to how I was until I have these symptoms again. I feel like I need to rewatch this video every single morning in order for it to stick. So I think, that’s what I’ll do.

Thank you for making this video. As a 20 year old I struggle with a lot of the things you talk about in this video. I know a handful of people who feel the same way I do. Something needs to change and I think this video is the first little step. So thank you

absolutely stellar channel , dude, bravo, the fact that you present it in a human way without the life coach approach and humility and acceptance, underrated

The way you speak is so captivating I can't pinpoint why it's more than just what you're saying but how you say it pulls me in

Inspired by other comments in this comment section I want to share what my body is feeling. My body is tired. He is tired for years now. I actively looked at screens since I was 11 years old starting to play Minecraft & watch media in form of videos. In the Pandemic it really got worse, I was so overstimulated that often I played games, talked to a friend and watched videos at the same time because I got used to the stimulation of “just” one of those things. This year I graduated and I started critically thinking about the way I consume media (a friend of mine gave me a hint and I spiraled a bit). I deleted my games for weeks at a time to get away from my computer and set me limits for apps like Instagram, RU-vid etc. but nothing really helped because I wanted to do it all at the same time and on top of that I just felt guilty which was my motivator. This video really helped me think about the way of my consumption. The part that hit me the most was the meaninglessness. Something in my body actively reacted to that point and the more I think about it the more I can see how I need to find a purpose to help me strive. The whole video for me was really helpful and it is so different to the videos I consume otherwise - so much calmer and without so many stimuli that I get a headache in the end. What my body is telling me right now is that I need to get away from my normal area, outside into nature where I can just sit and think about my life without my phone in my hand - without distractions - just sitting there and rearranging the way I live with sounds of nature in the backround to calm my brain. I want to do stuff I am really interested in and spend my time more wisely. Thank you for the video! I try to work on myself. I’ll keep some updates under this comment hopefully - if I forget yall can ask for sure if interested haha

This was the first video that FINALLY gave me the courage to get rid of insta and tt. It’s not much but I’m still proud of myself. Thank you so much

I was skeptical about watching this. now I'm in the middle of the video and it's really refreshing. i guess I craved cozy talking about this with someone like you. thanks!

thank you so much for this. i have been in search of an inner spark, of childlike wonder, for a long time. i think that i am getting closer, but the road feels long and hard at points. playing guitar and writing songs helps me infinitely to feel in touch with myself and the feeling of having created something lifts a weight off my shoulders. the work of many artists, adrianne lenker and mary oliver in particular, have given me a sense of meaning through their work. i am infinitely grateful. art will be the thing to save us in the end, i'm sure of it.

started writing.a poem titled 'broken' 30mins ago and this vid showed up on my 'recommended' page... quite shocking to find what ive been feeling lately perfectly matches with the 5 symptoms you mentioned here, albeit with completely different context (I don't consume much content on the internet but it is THE source for me to feel seen by others...) what you said in the vid really helped me put things into perspectives and now I'm off exercising my power over my own attention! thank youuuuuuu

You should be proud, this video is so so helpful man! Thank you so much!

It's exactly 4.20am, I'm awake, the electricity is out and it's raining outside. Somehow I've actually intuitively realised what you've said in this video way before, you just put it in words that I couldn't really realise. Sellf-improvement was something I should've implementing but I realised I must do something that keeps me in a state of flow. I've started reading self-help and although ive been procrastinating but my realisation has gotten better. I always struggle with consistency, but passive consumption really did cost me overstimulation and yes, I eneded up on this video XD you're 100% the confrontations make it harder. Small steps are really something that are very important imo. Seeking self-centred pleasure is destructive, I've pulled myself out of self isolation cycle at least I'm glad I did that one thing properly lol. Thanks for this video bro. I mean, I'm just speechless. There's ton of helpful information and advice in here. I tried explaining lol. I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense 💀 there's some serious stuff that I must note down in my book.

You explained it better than I ever could When scrolling through TikTok and other social media, I feel so desensitized and empty. It didn’t used to be this way, but now it is. One video is happy, a cute child or kitten doing something funny, and the second video is an activism video or a sad video about someone’s situation in a poor country, after seeing so many videos like that, I can no longer be able to feel sad or empathy for some reason, the most I do is interact and comment hearts and scroll, it feels so weird because at this point, I could see a violent video and just scroll and move on. Years ago, when I didn’t have social media, I would get nightmares from the things I now simply scroll past. I feel like I lost my empathy and got desensitized to things and I can’t be cured or helped anymore.

Thank you. Genuinely thank you for being so positive and reassuring. It does help :)

This was great! The way you speak sounds like a therapist in the best way. ❤

I have a phenomenal therapist and she has recommended very similar things that are in this video. Thank you for sharing this msg and kudos on the great delivery!

I feel like I’m in this exact headspace at the moment. For me I deleted all social media about a year or so ago, later quit drinking for a few months and really I did end up isolating myself from everyone I hung around with because I think it was the best thing to do for me. I’m trying to overcome this emptiness and I know the digital age has been a lot to do with my unhappiness. I’m fortunate I have a very solid girl in my life now who’s made these changes easier to make. I have felt (as you’ve said in your video), a renewed sense of childlike wonder for things I didn’t really accommodate into my life before like reading and journaling. There’s definitely something in this kind of change in behaviour that can light a spark. I agree we’re not meant to be passive and lay dormant in our own lives. Life can be much more romantic when you look for these ideas and although you will still despair you can find what you need to move forward if you learn to stimulate your mind correctly. Crime and Punishment is coming up on my reading list thought it was funny you mentioned that.

Thank you SO much, this was so helpful

Phenomenal content Josh. Spot on. I believe you just hit the nail on the head of how a lot of people in the world are feeling today. Thank you so much for creating this video. Very insightful and hopefully spurs others(including myself) on to re-evaluate where they put their time and energy and begin investing it into things which give us lasting pleasure instead of quick hits. It’s a process but that’s what life is. One giant process that we’re all working through. Stay blessed Josh😊

My body told me to write a poem about love. So I wrote a poem about loving someone and in return getting to watch them grow. I think it’s one of the best I’ve made. This was great advice, for a person so young, you are very wise. Exactly what I needed to hear right now. Tomorrow afternoon I will take a walk and keep you in my thoughts when I do!

I listened to this while I'm also reading a newly bought book. Down the line, this guy's voice and his speech patterns became the smell of new books in auditory form. 🤯

This videos was a great help. I was already in my self journey of taking care of my overstimuli due to social media. How its affecting my sleep, focus and personal relations. I used to shut off my social media fully, which may be a great idea in start, but that was not the solution. So, i am a part of social media but i am not socially active there, I have slowly started to take control of things and just replacing the actual work with my meaningless stressful scrolling. It's just a start for me, but to protect my aspirations and to give some meaning to my life in this journey, i will make a peaceful relation with social media and winning from instant gratification.

Only yesterday, I purchased a mechanical type bluetooth keyboard to begin a journey towards fiction writing, starting with journalling. And I was writing stuff down about how to possibly break away from overstimulation. Today I listen to your highly informative advice and resonate with what you have said and appreciate it so much 👍

We are roughly the same age, and I have been coming to the same conclusions for a while now. Multiple different real life events pushed me towards this, but the biggest one was joining a book club that only reads self-help and personal development books. The first one I read with them was "The Artist's Way" which really pushed me, as someone who has always been an intellectual over an artist, to face my fears of creating something. The next step was realizing I l can do my daily commute in silence. I am currently a Master's student and spend long hours everyday either interacting with people, doing math, or reading and writing scientific articles. I realized I never give myself time to think about whatever I want to think about. Even when I go to sleep at night, I often listen to music or ASMR to shut out the sound of my own thoughts. How wild and disconnected is that? On the topic of socializing, grad school also forced me to connect with others. It's very true that going where the other people who like what you like are will lead to you making friends.

Thank you for adding the list in the description, it's very useful

Thank you for this video. I got an app a couple months ago that blocks instagram form 9:00 to 5:00 and completely blocks it if I have been on it for more than an hour. I had a “oh crap” moment and realized I have limited time and that I find more enjoyment in doing my hobbies and spending time with family than spending time on my silly phone that I think is “helpful for news and info” but it just puts me into a deeper pit of feeling like I have no fulfillment. I’m only a teen and I’m trying to improve everyday with trying to have less and less time on my phone but it honestly feels so impossible sometimes when me friends think I’m crazy for blocking social media for most of my day. This video really helped me to spark my curiosity and passion to live rather than bury myself in a screen. Thank you!! Have a great day!!

Got this video whilst scrolling through youtube painfully bored and overstimulated. This is just what I needed. Thank you :)

I dont see this much of content of dopamine detox, self improvement and such in my native language (Portuguese) and this video gave me the inspiration to start it, i mean... Doesnt need to be perfect, it need to be a start into something i want and i value. I deeply incentivate others to do the same as well in their own languages or their on way to express it if it is from their will. Thanks, Josh, those videos of yours helped a lot (At Least for me)

I would love to meet his parents they have done a wonderful job raising this young man

This video is phenomenal. I’m sharing with my Gen Z kids. This needs to be viewed by millions not thousands. You have a very bright future ahead of you!
