MG #3 - Transforming your relationship with digital technology
In this episode, we will explore strategies for “hacking back” against social media, outlining specific techniques developed by attention experts to regain control over our relationship with the technology in our lives. We draw on insights from Jeffrey Schwartz's You Are Not Your Brain and Cal Newport's Digital Minimalism.
MG #2 - What is technology supposed to be doing for us?
In this episode, we discuss the themes explored by the Netflix documentary, The Social Dilemma, and try to get at questions like "What is technology supposed to be doing for us?" and "What do we pay when we pay attention?". We also touch on a new framework for talking about attention to fully understand the implications of the deep sense of distraction we all feel.
MG #1 - Living a fulfilling life by cultivating flow
