EP. 615: DIGITAL CAPITALISM AND NOSTALGIA ft. MIKE WATSON

Get Mike's latest book here: https://www.revolpress.com/hungry-ghosts-in-the-machine   Hungry Ghosts in the Machine will discuss the ways in which social and other digital media utilize nostalgia to heighten anxiety, depression and alienation then offer fleeting cures that ultimately lead to a cycle of longing and, at most, only temporary satiation. It will finally be stated that wellbeing and spiritual practice freed of the compulsive aspect of social media use might form a useful role in a wider movement aimed at fostering healthy communities.   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.
