With references from Celeste Headlee’s book Do Nothing: How To Break Away From Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving, The End of Absence: Reclaiming What We’ve Lost in a World of Constant Connection by Michael Harris, and In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction by Gabor Maté, the conversation focuses on ways we can all observe our habits and develop new ones to create more meaning and happiness in our lives.
