Show notes

This week I was encouraged to welcome Carlos Whittaker to the show for an honest and compassionate talk about his latest book, "Reconnected: How 7 Screen-Free Weeks with Monks and Amish Farmers Helped Me Recover the Lost Art of Being Human." Carlos shares his transformative journey through living with monks and the Amish to understand different worldviews and lessen his dependency on technology. Initially struggling with the absence of his phone, Carlos learns the healing power of solitude and forms deep connections within these communities.Carlos returns with practical life skills and a new perspective on screen time, emphasizing the importance of solitude and offline activities for personal growth and deeper relationships. He also discusses his significant decrease in phone usage and how it has positively affected his life and those around him. The episode explores strategies to reduce screen addiction, the balance between online and offline connections, and the broader implications of leading a more present and engaged life.Carlos Whittaker Learns About the Genetic Predisposition to Dementia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kab34ZYfXM8Carlos was previously on this show here: https://www.beyondthetodolist.com/carlos-whittaker-on-sharing-life-beyond-our-differences/Connect With Carlos: Website: https://www.carloswhittaker.com Book: http://reconnectedbook.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/loswhit/ Connect with Erik: LinkedIn Facebook Instagram ______________________________________This Podcast is Powered By: Descript Descript 101 Castmagic Ecamm Podpage Rodecaster Pro Erik's Top Productivity Books List Make sure to grab Shortcasts from Beyond The To-Do List by Blinkist.
