Welcome back to another episode of Behavioral Grooves. I'm Kurt Nelson. And I'm Tim Houlihan. Today we're diving into a conversation that challenges many things that you might think you know about technology and mindfulness. Our guest is Jay Vidyarthy, author of Reclaim Your Mind, and he's got a radical proposition for you.
Yeah, and here's the thing. While everyone's telling you that technology is hijacking your brain and you're powerless against all of the algorithms that are out there, Jay argues that we've got it backwards. The problems as as Jay sees it isn't that tech took our agency away. The problem is that we forgot that we still have it. Jay's a fascinating guy.
He's a product designer who runs teams in Silicon Valley. So he's very deep in the tech world. Very much so. But he's also spent a lot of time on meditations and silent retreats. He's not anti-tech.
