EPISODE DESCRIPTION
“In order to find happiness, we just have to allow ourselves to press pause.” — Brian Solis
Brian shares his story of why he had to take a mindful approach to the use of technology, and gives us tools of how to do it for ourselves to create a life of more content, joy and happiness. We also talk about persuasive design, which is a psychological approach to changing our behaviors to consumer more content, engage more, mindlessly scroll and more. We talk about the long term affects of these kinds of our behaviors and attention and focus hacks that we can adopt that train our brains to focus for longer period of times. This is a very important episode to learn ways to reclaim our attention and life in an age where our attention is a currency and competed aggressively for in almost every waking minute. Enjoy!
