Larry Rosen on Smartphone Addiction and Cortisol

Professor Larry Rosen discusses the psychological impact of smartphones, noting that the average adult spends over five hours a day on their device. He explains that constant phone use triggers the adrenal gland to release cortisol, leading to chronic anxiety and obsession. The hosts critique Rosen's advice for "tech breaks," suggesting that his own addiction prevents him from recommending more effective solutions like keeping the phone in a drawer.
