Hooked & Hijacked

Rewire Your Brain with CBT, Hypnosis, Subliminals, & Neuroplasticity Techniques to Restore Your Dopamine, Stop Procrastinating, & Break Free for Good - Quit Social Media Addiction

By: Cameron Hale

Narrated by: Kevin Harries

The average person touches their phone over 2,600 times a day and doesn’t remember doing most of it.

What are you really reaching for? Comfort? Escape? A way to avoid silence?

Perhaps you’ve set the limits. Deleted the apps. Even tried giving your phone a break. But each time life slows down, your hand moves on its own. The constant checking, the foggy thinking, the hours lost in a blur, it’s not just a habit. It’s a loop. And trying harder isn’t helping.

That’s because most advice teaches you to resist the urge. This program does something different: it removes it entirely. Built on proven techniques, it helps you let go of digital dependency without shame or willpower. You don’t have to fight. You just need to rewire.

What you’ll unlock inside:

• The hidden emotional triggers that keep you stuck in the scroll loop, and how to cut them off at the root
• A short technique that neutralizes any urge in 90 seconds or less, even when the pull feels impossible to resist
• How your brain confuses digital stimulation with real reward, and the simple rewiring method to flip the switch
• The exact way your phone steals your attention span, and how to rebuild it with just a few minutes a day
• A cognitive ritual that rewires your habits in the background without you needing to remember anything
• How to access deep focus states even if you’ve struggled for years to stay present or engaged
• What to do in the first 5 minutes of your day to stop the dopamine hijack before it begins

This system gives you everything you need to break free: fast-acting cognitive tools that interrupt the urge in real time, guided hypnosis sessions to retrain your brain, and subliminal audio programming that works while you sleep.

You don’t need to rely on willpower. What you need is a brain that no longer craves distraction.

And that starts here. Your clarity is waiting.

Transformative and practical

This audiobook, Social Media Addiction, completely shifted how I approach my phone usage. I was skeptical at first, expecting another generic self-help guide, but the focus on rewiring the brain through neuroplasticity was eye-opening. I loved the 90-second technique to neutralize urges—it’s simple, quick, and actually works, even in moments of weakness.

Mind Clarity at Last

This book gave me tools to finally reclaim my mental clarity. The fog that came from constant scrolling is gone, and I sleep better too thanks to the audio programming. It’s been a total reset for my brain.

Exactly what I didn’t know I needed

I believed I just had an unhealthy habit, but this audiobook showed me it's deeper and gave me tools that actually worked. The 90-second technique was surprisingly effective and I've already experienced less mindless scrolling. The voice of the narrator is calming and made the hypnosis session go down smoothly. I've been listening in the morning instead of checking my phone and it's staying me on track. This isn't willpower or guilt it's brain change. If you're caught in the scroll loop, this makes a real difference.

Log off, wake up, and be more present

Hooked and Hijacked will open your eyes to the amount of time actually spent on social media. The book breaks down why social media is so addictive and what you can do to make your brain feel "rewarded" without being on the apps. I liked how becoming detached from social media is characterized as not logging off, but waking up. The rapid tools are easy ways to develop more mindfulness - helping you create a pause, such as a 90-second urge wave, to break the immediate cycle of dependence on the dopamine hit of social media interactions. To find these, along with longer hypnosis sessions and sleep audios to help rewire your brain all in one place is fantastic. Only thing I wished was for the narration of the chapters to be in a more "awake", direct voice, to differentiate from the voice used for the session or sleep work, but maybe that's how it's supposed to work. So many of us could use the awareness and self-regulation strategies in this book.

It Should Be Required Listening for Our Generation

Hooked & Hijacked hits hard with truth and healing. It’s not just about quitting social media—it’s about reclaiming your mind. Hale walks you through CBT, hypnosis, and neuroplasticity in a way that’s super accessible. Kevin Harries' narration is calm and reassuring. I’ve already noticed more focus, more clarity, and way less mindless scrolling. Brilliant, empowering content.
