Do you walk and text? Seriously, tell the truth: Have you stopped looking up and taking in the scenery when you are walking and just look down at your screen?

When was the last time you had an entire meal without taking out your phone or experienced your family members or friends or colleagues taking a quick look at their phones?

Are you aware that there is hard science that has determined that as a result of the way we use technology, we are no longer connecting in the deep, meaningful ways we used to in years one by. Its more that we are intersecting for a moment vs really creating empathy with each other.

One of the leading foremost authorities on all this is here with me today.

My guest for this episode is Dr. Sherry Turkle. Dr. Turkle is a clinical psychologist, professor of the social studies of science and technology at MIT, and the founder and current director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self.

She has spent over three decades studying the way people interact with machines, and is growing increasingly worried about the amount of human interaction people are happy to delegate to robots or carry out over phones and computers.

Dr. Turkle’s most recent book is, Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age.

In this podcast you are going to hear about new research and wonderful stories that will change how you look at your electronic  devices forever!

You know this for yourself: When you feel out of control, you don’t feel a bit out of control, you very likely fall off the cliff; you get critical, judgmental, impatient and nothing is good or good enough.

Financial issues get blown way out of perspective.

For partners who are losing jobs, or going on to new jobs, especially if they’re less prestigious jobs or these folks are earning less money, it can be a time of tremendous strain on their marriage.

We’re going to talk about all this and more today.

My guest for this episode is Anne Crawford, a certified Life Coach who specializes in Career Transitions.

Do you the same argument with your partner over and over again?

Are you and your partner getting along well one minute and the next minute one of you has done or said something that triggers the other and literally rips both of you out of the sweet, loving moment you were sharing and into an uber bad place for both of you?

This is much more common than you may think.

We all fall into patterns of behavior with each other and we all have reactive patterns, meaning that we react to what is being said or done or at least what we t-h-i-n-k is being said or done, and we react vs stop, take a moment and then respond proactively.
