Do you ever feel like your day disappears into scrolling, notifications and short videos—and by evening all that's left is exhaustion and the sense that once again you didn't really do anything that mattered? If so, this book is for you. Dopamine Detox – How to Reclaim Your Brain, Focus and Motivation in a World of Phones, Social Media and Endless Stimulation shows you, step by step, how to step off that hamster wheel without myths about "weak willpower" and without having to live in a cave without Wi-Fi. First, you'll understand that the problem isn't you, but an overheated reward system in your brain. You'll see an ordinary day broken down scene by scene—from that first reach for your phone in bed, through constant distraction at work, to the late-night "just one more episode"—and suddenly it becomes obvious where your attention is really leaking away. The author explains in simple language what dopamine is and how apps deliberately exploit its mechanisms: infinite scroll, autoplay, red dots, likes, streaks and "come back" notifications stop looking like innocent features and start to reveal what they really are—an expertly designed casino for your brain. You'll discover the hidden costs of constant stimulation for your memory, sleep, emotions, relationships and money. You'll learn how to run your own "dopamine audit", a simple daily experiment after which you'll never again say "I don't know where my time goes", because you'll see it in black and white. Step by step, you'll rebuild your environment: quiet your notifications, calm your home screen, change the way you use your computer, and organize your desk, bedroom and home so that they finally support focus instead of distraction. The book gives you three ready-made protocols you can start immediately: an intense 72-hour emergency stop, a seven-day first full reset and a fourteen-day deep habit reboot. Instead of a rigid calendar, you get a description of the natural phases of detox: the breakdown of the old autopilot, the uncomfortable window of boredom and emptiness, the building of new behavior loops and the first conscious return to the world of stimuli—this time on your own terms. A dedicated chapter shows you what to do when your brain rebels: how to deal with boredom, stimulus hunger, compulsive phone checking and the fear of missing out, and how to tell real needs from pure dopamine craving. Dopamine detox is not about doing nothing. It's about turning freed-up time into quality of life. The author helps you decide where to invest your reclaimed attention: into health, sleep, movement and breathing; into work projects and your own business; into learning and creativity; into relationships based on real presence instead of parallel scrolling. You'll see, with concrete examples, how hours spent on social media can be converted into real results: finished projects, new skills, more calm and more energy. In the end, you create your own 90-day plan that makes sure the detox doesn't become just a short phase but the beginning of a new way of living. This book guides you through the most important shift of all: from someone addicted to stimuli to someone who consciously manages their attention and truly creates. If you feel that your brain is overloaded and your focus shatters with every little notification, here you'll find a clear, practical path to step-by-step reclaiming your time, your energy and your inner peace.
