Episode 2785: Joshua Becker reminds us that the constant connectivity of modern life, through social media, smartphones, and endless streams of information, can quietly erode our inner peace and self-awareness. He highlights how solitude, often mistaken for loneliness, is essential for reflection, authenticity, and emotional renewal in an overstimulated world. His insights encourage us to step back, embrace silence, and reclaim our time alone as a vital act of self-preservation. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.becomingminimalist.com/the-danger-of-neglecting-time-alone/ Quotes to ponder: "When there are only 2 friends in front of us but 200 friends online, it becomes increasingly difficult to focus on the 2." "There is never a moment in the day that we cannot be busy selling something to somebody." "Just because our cell phones allow us to be reached at any given point of the day (by voice or text) does not mean that an immediate response is necessary."
