Combating the Cultural "Insecurity Blanket"
Manage episode 431941565 series 2955786
How do you feel after you stare at TikTok or IG for an hour? How about thirty minutes of watching the news? Compare that to your emotional state of mind after watching silly cat videos? Notice a difference? HA. I'll consider this "Part 2" of a podcast I recorded earlier this season. For today's episode, I'm still thinking a lot about how we react to certain stimuli in our day to day to lives. From the news, social media, the onslaught of texts and information that enters our periphery each day, how does all of that information make us feel? Does it make us feel an overabundance of joy or is it wearing us down and making us feel a deep level of anxiety. I was compelled to dive further into this topic because I just recently listened to a wonderful pod where Marc Maron has an insightful chat with novelist, Shalom Auslander. It's a powerful chat about how so much of the energy in our culture, whether intentionally or not, has the potential to suck so much of the joy out of our lives. Does the actual world we inhabit mirror the world that is promulgated on television? Pay attention to how you feel after you spend just 10 minutes on your phone compared to going for a walk in nature without the grip of technology. SUPER stoked to be back for Season 5. As always, thanks so much for listening and being so incredibly supportive. It's also always helpful if you share the show with your friends or maybe head over to iTunes and write a quick review. I'd also love to hear from you so please reach out on IG @eddiecohn with any questions. Thanks again for listening. I appreciate YOU!
