Dr. John Gray: How to Overcome Tech Addiction, Optimize Hormones, and Reignite Romance


Listen Later

Do you feel like you’re addicted to screens?

Technology was supposed to improve our quality of life, but instead it’s fueled a war on our attention, happiness, and sanity.

Some of the most intelligent brain scientists in the world are paid ungodly sums to make sure you’re as addicted as possible, hijacking your reward pathways so they can mine your time, manipulate your thought processes, and sell your data to the highest bidder.

The endless pursuit of corporate profits has created an algorithmic race to the bottom.

Constant digital stimulation rewires our brains, upsets hormonal balance, saps our energy, and even degrades our ability to feel connected to humans in real life.

The damage that social media and screentime can cause to mental health, especially for young women, is well-documented. Social media platforms contribute to body dysmorphia and eating disorders, and progressively lead to serious mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and far worse.

In the face of epidemic levels of loneliness and isolation, men who pursue pleasure from screens reinforce their addiction to digital stimulation, which causes testosterone levels, energy, and motivation to plummet.

So how can we reverse our overreliance on exploitative modern technology and create real, authentic human connections and relationships in a digital age?

Today we’re back with our friend Dr. John Gray, former monk and author of more than 20+ books including “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus” the best-selling relationship book of all time.

In this episode with Dr. Gray, you’ll discover:

  • Simple strategies to increase testosterone in men, and balance hormones in women (without using exogenous drugs)
  • What living as a monk for 9 years taught Dr. Gray about mindfulness and meditation
  • How harnessing the “polarity” between masculine and feminine energies can reignite attraction, intimacy and romance in relationships
  • Why complaining can be addictive and what to do instead
  • How small acts of kindness and appreciation help build intimacy and connection in your relationships
  • The potential impacts and dangers of new technologies like virtual reality on future human relationships and interactions
  • And much more…
