Don’t Be Fooled, This Isn’t Normal. It’s the Beginning of a New Crisis | Arthur Brooks

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Arthur Brooks about the crisis of meaning and happiness in the younger generation who spend more time online than interacting with other humans in person; finding meaning in an age of emptiness; how the attention economy, social media, and constant connectivity undermine happiness and mental health; how purpose comes from genuine relationships, routines, and spiritual practices rather than online validation; how neuroscience is giving evidence of the positive effects on happiness of early rising, discipline, and creativity; the generational backlash against technology; how to embrace suffering as a teacher; reconciling science with spirituality in the search for a meaningful life; and much more.
