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.
