Eli Singer: Stop Blaming the Algorithm and Take Your Life Back From Your Phone

from The Work of Being Human · host Vanessa Bentley

We all know our phones are a problem. But knowing it hasn’t changed it.In this episode, I sit down with Eli Singer, founder of Offline Now, to explore what’s really happening in our relationship with technology—and why most solutions fall short. We move beyond surface-level advice and into the deeper questions: Is the phone the problem, or is it revealing something about us? Where does responsibility actually lie? And what does it look like to take real ownership of our behavior in a world designed to keep us distracted?This isn’t a conversation about screen time limits. It’s about self-accountability, agency, and the uncomfortable truth that no algorithm can control us without our participation. If we want our lives back—our attention, our relationships, our humanity—we have to face reality and act accordingly.Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanessathetherapist/Follow the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theworkofbeinghuman/Eli's website: https://offline.now/
