About this listen

In today’s digital world, your attention is the most valuable currency—and Big Tech wants every second of it. Your favorite apps, social platforms, streaming services, and online stores aren’t just convenient tools; they are carefully engineered environments designed to influence your behavior, guide your choices, and keep you endlessly scrolling, tapping, reacting, and buying.

Mind Control pulls back the curtain on the psychological tricks hidden inside everyday technology—revealing why it’s so hard to put your phone down and what’s really happening beneath the surface of your screen.

This eye-opening guide explains how major tech companies use behavioral science to shape your habits without you even noticing. You’ll discover why your feed never ends, why notifications feel impossible to ignore, and how autoplay removes your chance to stop.
