You're standing in line, doing nothing, and your hand is already reaching for your phone. That twitch isn't weakness—it's one of the oldest survival circuits in the human brain, and it kept your ancestors alive for 200,000 years.

You'll see how the same restlessness that once pushed early humans to scan the horizon, track animals, and notice subtle changes in their environment now gets hijacked by the endless scroll on your phone. You'll learn why the "cure" for boredom often looks exactly like the disease and what your ancient brain is actually asking you to do instead.
