In this episode, Carl shares a personal experiment in breaking free from the “dopamine machine”—those tempting websites and distractions that quietly steal our time. He talks about using defensive measures like locking down access, creating space between stimulus and response, and replacing old habits with more meaningful activities. Along the way, he reflects on meditation, addiction, and the surprising power of simply noticing what we feel instead of trying to suppress it.
