From the original episode description:

How much time do you spend on a device? Mobile, laptop, TV? Some of the technology wizards often say they won't let their own kids have devices... Are we missing something? Can we live without it? Laura Willis wants me to believe we can, so we will be talking about how technology is robbing us of our mental health and some ways we can learn to switch off.

Rebroadcast: Due to time and other commitments, I’ve paused the creation of new Mentality Meets episodes. However, through these rebroadcasts, I want to highlight some incredible previous episodes. There is some brilliant content and insight in the archives.

Larry Meyler

Irish-born Larry Meyler began his writing career in 2017 with the release of his first book, the self-published title, Being Brave. His self-deprecating, relatable and entertaining style of writing has been a triumph for the ‘artful dodger of the literary world’ who was kicked out of school aged fifteen with no academic qualifications and who typed his first book on an iPad. Joanna Lumley calls it “utterly gripping”, and a host of other famous fans, from James Arthur to Geri Halliwell, have found themselves lost in its pages, a poignant and fearlessly honest memoir from this “unlikely author”.

The Sun says: “It will inspire you like very few books do,” and The Daily Star Sunday calls it: “A fearless piece of writing and unique memoir”. The book has gained five stars on Amazon and has featured in The Evening Standard, Fabulous and Now magazine. Larry has since written articles for Glamour, Men's Health, MailOnline and has worked with Heads Together, the mental health charity spearheaded by Prince William, Princess Catherine and Prince Harry. As well as being a radio and podcast guest and hosting school talks centred around mental health.
