Summary

Welcome to another information-packed episode of Impact Theory, I’m Tom Bilyeu! In today’s episode I’m joined by Dr. Alok Kanojia to discuss how to get out of the TIGHT HOLD technology has on us so we can stop being lazy and addicted and instead have a meaningful life and healthy relationships with REAL PEOPLE (not AI). Dr. K is known as “the healthy gamer”. When he was in college he realized he was addicted to video games. He moved to India to become a monk and ultimately went to medical school and became a psychologist. Today, he combines Eastern therapies (like yoga, meditation and Ayurveda) with classic psychotherapy to help people deal with technology addictions like video games, porn, etc. We are going deep into topics like: - How & why technology is so addicting - Understanding WHERE desire comes from - How attachment & baggage are holding you back - What porn does to your brain - Men’s responsibility to respond to domestication, women’s expectations, and suffering - Why your frame of reference, reality, and focusing on yourself are the way out All technologies are manipulating you, and the only way to combat them is to know yourself. This is just Part 1 of our conversation, so make sure you don’t miss Part 2 of this convo for even more insights from Dr. K.

0:00.0	Odds are, your life is a mess.
0:02.5	Given how many people are being absolutely destroyed by the modern world, it's just a safe bet.
0:08.2	Social media has slammed into our outdated meat suits and the results have been horrifying.
0:14.1	People feel lost.
0:15.1	We've got a mental health crisis, plummeting birth rates, global conflict, and a panoply of other joys, including your subreddit for
0:21.9	something called gooning. Don't look that up, trust me. Thankfully, though, there is a way out,
0:27.6	but this one ain't going to be easy. Here to talk about it is Dr. Alok Kenogia. So many people
0:34.8	come to you, come to me, and they know what they want, they know their dream,
0:39.5	but they don't get out of bed.
0:41.0	They play video games all day.
0:42.7	They go in the goon cave and fudge until they're about to fall off.
0:49.8	They're doing things that don't move them towards their goal, and they are desperate for you to answer that question. How do you get yourself to do something you don't want to do? You stop doing things that you want to do. So here's my problem with that. Okay. So I sort of disagree with almost the premise of the question. And I'm not going to go back to the philosophy. But let's understand this. Someone says, I want to study. Right. This is my experience. So I wanted to not fail out of Spanish class.
1:12.6	And so if you kind of look at it, right, you ask me, what's my goal?
1:15.7	My goal is to not fail out of college.
1:19.1	And then you say, how do I get myself to do the thing that I want?
1:24.1	But if you really look at it, the only problem is that I want something else more. This is very
1:30.7	important to understand. Anyone who is not moving towards their goal, the reason they don't move
1:36.9	towards their goal is not because they lack motivation. It's because they are motivated more
1:41.5	strongly in a different direction. Beginning and end of it. So when I work with someone who's struggling with addiction, so I had a patient, right, so he was addicted to opioids and I was really stunned because this patient was doing so well in life. So I had a really good job, really nice family, kids who loved them, and the opioid addiction was tearing their life apart. They're going through divorce. They're going through some
2:01.8	work assistance program. We're on the verge of getting fired. Their kids hate them. And I was like,
2:07.0	bro, you're ruining your life, right? Like, I don't understand, like, how you don't see that you
2:13.2	are ruining your life. And like, all you have to do is stop ruining it, right? Stop using this early on.
