Summary

In today’s hyperconnected world, our attention has become one of the most valuable—and contested—resources. In this Passion Struck episode, John speaks with Jay Vidyarthi, author of Reclaim Your Mind, about why technology feels so addictive, how it fragments our lives, and what we can do to take back control. Jay shares practical tools for mindful tech use, explains how design can either empower or exploit us, and reveals how to realign our digital lives with our values. This conversation is a wake-up call to anyone who feels scattered, overstimulated, or trapped by the constant pull of screens—and an invitation to build a life of deeper focus, clarity, and flow.
