In this episode of Deeply Well, Devi sits down with Dr. Zelana Montminy, a leading behavioral scientist and resilience expert, to discuss the urgent issue of focusing in our distraction-laden world. Dr. Zelana shares insights from her new book, 'Finding Focus: Own Your Attention in the Age of Distraction,' which offers practical strategies to reclaim mental clarity and emotional resilience. They cover the impacts of our hyperconnected lives on our well-being, the science behind attention and distraction, and the critical need for boredom in fostering creativity. Dr Zelena also touches on mindful parenting in the digital age, the cost of over-communication, and the importance of authentic human connections. Listeners are encouraged to identify their biggest distractors and make small changes, such as not waking up with their phones, to regain their focus and fortify their mental health.
