Since we are in mental awareness month, I thought about approaching this exact topic here on the channel. Normally I wouldn't approach such high and dense topics since I only feel like I generalize a lot, even if the information comes from literature, articles, reviews, institutions, and international organizations that deal with the issue. We explored what does Mental Health mean for us (as I asked you), some definitions of the most commonly used terms (such as anxiety, gaslighting), some trends in mental health awareness between 1993 and 2023 (30 years), and some applicable methods on how to make our day better if we feel down or in a bad mood. Before I go, here's the most common definition I could find about Mental health, as defined in the field of psychology: "Mental health refers to a person's emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It encompasses how individuals think, feel, and behave, and it influences how they handle stress, relate to others, and make choices." I hope this episodes lives up to the expectations! Thank you all for being understanding and empathic

This episode is from my “From The Outside” series, where I record an episode OUTSIDE to share with you ~ either from a spot on the farm or elsewhere.

Writer, speaker and podcast host Christina Crook has been studying the relationship between joy and technology for over a decade. Whether you're seeking presence, peace, focus or productivity, Christina has shaped tools and teachings to reconnect your habits with your happiness.  With all of the conversations of happiness, well-being, and current mental health issues this was a fun conversation for me to have as Christina is an expert in being mindful about our lives as well as being intentional about the use of technology. Enjoy the conversation, but also check out more JOMO resources at her website.

What does it mean to be “always on”. To have the entirety of human knowledge in your pocket, and to know what's happening right this minute on the other side of the world… all the time? What does it mean to be “always available”. To be contactable, ready to respond at a moment's notice. Never nowhere, always somewhere. Of course this all has its benefits, right? But is it necessarily healthy? This week I'm speaking with Christina Crook, author of the book The Joy of Missing Out: Finding Balance in a Wired World. She believes that being constantly connected to the 24-hour news cycle, having our relationships moderated by social media algorithms, being addicted to a constant flow of information that is curated by others who might not have our best interests at heart – and let's not forget the dopamine hit that comes from getting another ‘like' or another ‘follow' – is not only bad for us, but is sapping the life out of our days, and replacing it with stress. In this conversation we talk about why the need to be intentionally conscious about how we use technology, lest it use us, is vital if we are to build healthy lives and healthy relationships. And that getting offline is, in itself, a wellness practice.

Leader of the JOMO movement, podcast host, and author, Christina Crook, speaks with us about her newest book, Good Burdens: How to Live Joyfully in the Digital Age.

On this episode of Cool Science Radio, Lynn Ware Peek and John Wells' guests include:(01:08) Science writer David Robson who has written, The Expectation Effect: How Your Mindset Can Change Your World.

She provides insight that you've not heard before. Her new book is, Good Burdens: How To Live Joyfully In The Digital Age.

My guest today is Christina Crook, digital mindfulness thought leader, speaker, and host of the JOMO(cast) podcast. She is also the author of Good Burdens and The Joy Of Missing Out and has been called "the Marie Kondo of digital" by Harper's Bazaar which sums up her work really well. Christina's own battle with digital overwhelm and balance led her to write these books and her advice around mindfulness, live joyfully and prioritising our wellbeing is really powerful and practical. In today's episode we are discussing her latest book Good Burdens which I absolutely loved, it's all about taking a step back from our screens, realigning our energies, increasing intentionality, and prioritising our well-being in the digital age. There are lots of synergies with my book (Dis)connected which I loved, so I hope you enjoy this conversation!

The Rundown In this episode we learn how some burdens, the ones that bring us together in the physical world, can be good burdens. I chat with author Christina Crook about her new book all about just that. Next up, a beautiful cookbook that centres around the seasons, family and a kitchen table. We coming together, all the time, on this audio outing. The Good Burdens of Christina Crook Christina Crook is an author, workshop leader and speaker. She's also worried that as a species we fail to thrive if we don't connect. If we don't take on, as the title of her new book suggests, “Good Burdens” Those are the tasks that bring us together not isolate and divide us the way Crook thinks social media does. I talked to her about good burdens and connections. Here's our conversation. Trish Magwood's New Table Chef and entrepreneur Trish Magwood also has a new book out. Hers is about bringing family together around the dining table. The book is a beautiful celebration of good, local, seasonal food and essential ingredients, the most essential being the people who come together over food. Here's our conversation.

This week, we are sharing with you an episode from the JOMO(cast) podcast. In this abridged version we hear host Christina Crook discuss with Albert Borgmann his concept of Good Burdens. Born in Germany in 1937, technology philosopher Albert Borgmann has seen technological transitions and upheavals unknown to many. Throughout his long life, he's studied and written about the impact of technological advancement on every aspect of society. Within this context, Dr. Borgmann joins Christina on the JOMO(cast) to discuss the cost-benefit analysis of technology's ability to lift our burdens, and why good burdens are vital to preserve if we want to live intentionally and with joy. Hear Christina and Albert discuss: - The history of technology and it's changing impacts - The perils of distraction - The concept of Good Burdens - How technology can obliterate good burdens - Why the culture of the table is a hopeful place Listen to the original conversation: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/24-the-joy-of-good-burdens-with-albert-borgmann/id1467390472?i=1000487173726 Listen to more episodes of Jomo(cast): https://www.christinacrook.com/jomocast Learn more about Christina Crook & JOMO: https://www.christinacrook.com/ Order Christina's new book, Good Burdens, based on this concept: https://www.christinacrook.com/goodburdens Read books by Albert: -Crossing The Postmodern Divide (2013) -Technology and the Character of Contemporary Life: A Philosophical Inquiry (2008) - Power Failure: Christianity in the Culture of Technology (2003) -Holding Onto Reality: The Nature of Information at the Turn of the Millennium (2007) -Real American Ethics: Taking Responsibility For Our Country (2010) -The Philosophy of Language: Historical Foundations and Contemporary Issues (2012) Follow @experiencejomo on Instagram, Facebook + Twitter Host and Producer: Georgie Powell https://www.sentientdigitalconsulting.com/ Music and audio production: Toccare https://spoti.fi/3bN4eqO

“The individual user is not the one who should solve the problem.”Erin Peace is a product and service designer for Method, with user experience being her particular passion. Technology is both a vital tool in her work, but also the subject matter of every project - how can humans have a more joyful, or at least a less uncomfortable, experience engaging with technology?A few years ago, Erin began thinking about how concepts like the attention economy and social media informed the worlds that designers like her were creating. Influenced at the time by the Time Well Spent campaign and the Cambridge Analytica scandal, she began to consider the impossible trap created by this ecosystem: that no amount of personal efforts can ultimately resist a pervasive system that one cannot reasonably escape, if that system remains harmful.In this episode, Erin shares how this exploration informs her work and led to the creation of the site Dopamine.fun and the interactive story “Terms and Conditions,” darkly funny looks at the ubiquitous tools used to manipulate user behavior in unconscious and inescapable ways.Key Takeaways:The harmful aspects of social media and the attention economy more broadly must ultimately be addressed by the forces that design and foster them; end users cannot “wellness” their way out of a toxic environment that won't change.User experiences that engage the attention economy profit from capturing the maximum amount of your time and focus- but this model need not be of reciprocal value; wasting your time is as desirable as spending it.“Speculative Design” is Erin's prescription for addressing the harm of unbridled, profit-driven innovations: designing with a process of envisioning the potential futures, positive and negative, that a development could bring about.Favorite Quotes:“You can read about something all you want, you can hear politicians talk about it, but it's not until you physically experience it or get a sense of it through some kind of experiential design that you really internalize it.”“Facebook's not the first person to make obscure terms and conditions but the fact that they're hard to read, the fact that they're put in teeny little text, widescreen… I don't read them all. No one reads them all, but you're signing away a lot of your data protection.”“What should our future world be like, rather than how do we get there?”ERIN PEACEDopamine.funTerms and Conditions: wrong-hands.netlify.appMedium.com/@erinmpeaceGO DEEPERLearn More: jomocast.comWrite a Review: ratethispodcast.com/jomocastSupport: This podcast is made possible by you — our listeners all over the world — from Brazil to Australia, the USA to Singapore.

“I can never underestimate the creativity of people who want to take part of your life and monetize it.”SummaryJames Williams is the author of “Stand Out of Our Light: Freedom and Resistance in the Attention Economy,” and cofounder of the ‘Time Well Spent' campaign, a project that aims to steer technology design toward having greater respect for users' attention, goals, and values.Previously, James worked for over ten years at Google, where he received the Founder's Award, the company's highest honor. He is also a frequent speaker, consultant for companies and governments, and commentator on technology issues in the media.In this episode, James shares his firsthand experience of the inner workings of the attention economy and habit-forming technology, and his motivations to craft his passionate message for us to find a better way.Key Takeaways:It was designed this way. Social media and every facet of digital marketing, overt and covert, are designed to manipulate our emotions and maximize their hold on our attention- and its creators, when pressed, admit it.The current generation of online technology, such as smartphones and social media, is intended to shape us as consumers. The business incentives that modern consumer technology create specifically incentivize the invention of systems that steer human behavior and shape our psyches in ways that favor their profitability.Taking intentional, mindful control of our inputs is central to improving our individual situations. The fundamental source of nearly all harm from new media is the information overwhelm and the overconnectedness that disrupts our natural human instincts to find meaning and form bonds. The only solution is to change the dynamic to one of strictly thoughtful, rather than passive, consumption.Favorite Quotes:“As the Web matured, and these tech titans emerged… I saw that we were doing the same thing as before the internet… persuasion and manipulation as the business model amped up times a million because of the algorithmic logic and proliferation of data of everything we know about human psychology.”“The core thing these platforms are doing… is shaping the human will and charting people's paths through their lives.”“The technologies that play the dirtiest are going to get the greatest part of our attention.”“In terms of the sustainability of the attention economy, I don't know if it worries me more whether it's sustainable or unsustainable.”--jomocast.comSupportThis podcast is made possible by you — our listeners all over the world — from Brazil to Australia, the USA to Singapore.

Here in 2020, we're all confronting the challenges of technology more intensely than ever. Digital capitalism is working very hard to use our psychology and social environment against us - to hijack our attention and redirect it towards whatever they're pushing. And it's been working. These challenges are so new, it hasn't been clear what the best solutions are. That's why I created Navigate - a brand new digital well-being membership to provide you with the ongoing support you need to thrive with tech. We are going to live with technology for the rest of our lives but we get to decide how.Exclusive Offer: JOMO(cast) listeners save 20% off an ANNUAL membership of Navigate with code: jomocast.

“It's so important for folks to carve out time to be creative in their lives. I think it's something that's missing right now.”Jen Duffin's nom commercial is the imagination-stirring Nova Mercury, derived from her youngest daughter of the same name whose birth precipitated the maternity leave during which Jen launched her entrepreneurial venture. Creating a home business was the perfect pivot for Duffin, whose fibromyalgia made a traditional 9-to-5 job unsustainable.Today, Nova Mercury is thriving, due in large part to Duffin's social media positioning- with over 90,000 Instagram followers and over 3500 sales and a People's Choice Award on Etsy, the digital marketplace is central to her success. On the JOMO(cast), Jen discusses her entrepreneurial journey and the careful blending of creativity, business, and family she learned along the way.Key Takeaways:Creative art-making is accessible to everyone. You don't have to sell what you make or be a virtuoso; everyone can create something.Creative art-making is inherently a mindful activity. Creative activity at any level gives huge dividends in better mental health, improved focus, centering, stress reduction, patience, discipline, and more.Entrepreneurs use social media as a tool, not as a place to spend their creative and personal time. Successful creative merchants like Nova Mercury draw bright lines around the time they need to spend on social media building their brand and doing community engagement- and make sure their priority is on the creative work itself and other sources of genuine joy.Favorite Quotes:“It was this huge leap of faith, and all I can say is that my intuition was overwhelmingly telling me to do it.”“I'm really lucky in the sense that I get to do a creative grounding process as a big chunk of… how I make my living.”“...the tactile experience of making things can really double as a mindfulness practice. It's very grounding, it requires you to be really present in the moment with what you're doing so I think there are so many mental health benefits to art-making of any kind.”“I'm in a space in my life right now where I try to have pretty firm boundaries on my online time. It can get away from you very quickly.”jomocast.comSupportThis podcast is made possible by you — our listeners all over the world — from Brazil to Australia, the USA to Singapore.

“If you don't prioritize your life, someone else will.”The author of the globally best-selling “Essentialism” and the upcoming “Effortless” joins the JOMO(cast) to proudly announce that JOMO and the philosophy of essentialism are natural companions. He's spoken at multinational brands, top-tier universities, and organizations around the world to share the simple, powerful message that individuals, teams, and societies function at their absolute best when they make the conscious and mindful decision every day to make room only for what matters most.He believes you can not only design an essential life, you can do it with ease and joy, too.Highlights from this episode:“I think what JOMO and.. essentialism represents to people is they read about it and go, I've spent my whole life doing it this way because that was the default option. I didn't know there was a way out of this.” The CEO of Uncharted brought his reading of Essentialism to work. “He applied it to the company, got everyone to read it, and they experimented and.. Moved to a four-day workweek. When he shared with me the things people are doing instead of that day of work.. Volunteering, learning languages, time spent with family, it's been this much higher quality of life, and they haven't had to give up their value contribution at work.”“I think lots will feel stretched too thin at work or at home, will feel busy but not necessarily productive, will feel that their day is being constantly hijacked by other people… if the answer is ‘yes' to any of those things, then the way out is essentialism.”“instead of trying to do it all for everyone all the time, instead of trying to follow the undisciplined pursuit of more, you follow the disciplined pursuit of less.”Learn more at essentialism.com--jomocast.comSupportThis podcast is made possible by you — our listeners all over the world — from Brazil to Australia, the USA to Singapore.

By day, she is the Advocacy Manager at the International Confederation of Midwives — but she also wears another hat as the Show Host of the Twenty5 Podcast, a bi-weekly interview podcast that she started to guide young women through their mid-twenties.

“The forces all around you are… pushing you to be a different way than you want to be. That's a design problem.”Jay Vidyarthi was one of the creators of Muse, a headband utilizing biofeedback to guide and train meditation that introduced thousands of beginners to an accessible world of mindfulness practice. He's also had a hand in the development and strategic launch of more than a dozen other apps and event platforms connecting consumers around the world to mindfulness technologies and communities. As an important companion to this impressive CV, though, Jay is also on the board of America Offline, a nonprofit organization of tech leaders working hard to expand the presence of offline social, educational, and vocational experiences, especially for American children, and continues to develop and advise the Healthy Minds Program, the University of Madison-Wisconsin's world-renowned research institute exploring the mind-body connection to lifelong health and well-being.Jay views all the accomplishments of the many projects he's brought to life- as well as the harm and suffering that continues to arise out of our collective struggle to relate with technology in a healthy way- as design challenges. In this episode, Jay shares how the lens of design can be used to find balance, mindfulness, and joy in how we choose to consume our tech.Highlights from this episode:* “We're all… on our own journey, and wherever these tools might arise that help support us, I think at best they're gonna help us get to the next step… but ultimately we have to keep our vigilance if we're aiming for something more than just the superficial, and getting to the depth that… you and me and everyone needs to reach for if our society is going to get back on track.” Mindfulness exercises like meditation should be seen as a gateway to deeper reflection on ourselves and intentional living.* “...the organizations that are currently leading social media are operating off a preferred situation of making themselves rich, and only now are they starting to understand the existing situation and how it's impacting people's lives.” Bad design methodology focuses on the indirect consequences of a creation (like profit) rather than the specific impact the design will have- whether intentional or unintentional.* “Vote with your time… and then you start the hard journey of disconnecting from things that may seem tempting but are not good for you, loved ones, community, or society, and that's a big challenge we're all facing in our lives.” Things like social media exist and take the forms they do because we demand and sustain them. If we make better individual choices for ourselves, the ecosystem will always follow.jomocast.comSupportThis podcast is made possible by you — our listeners all over the world — from Brazil to Australia, the USA to Singapore.

Jillian Richardson created The Joy List when she moved to New York City to connect herself to the events and gatherings around the city that would give her the best chance to forge meaningful human connections and “find her people.” Since then, she's made it her business to create “facilitated human connection”- intentional gatherings carefully curated and designed to foster friendship. Key Takeaways:Creating a meaningful event - or building a community- requires intentionality and structure.The connections created through intentional interaction are different and have greater potential for depth and meaning.A congregation or community of people is not simply a gathering; they are group relationships based in unconditional mutual supportAs younger people move away from the traditional communities of faith or neighborhood, gaining the healthy benefits of community membership requires intentional work to provide the opportunity for it to emerge.Membership in a community imparts a wealth of benefits- trust, belonging, emotional outlet, and deep connection- that casual or incidental contact does not.Favorite Quotes:“A joyful gathering is a thing that has an intentional container… where the creator put thought into how people are coming together.”“Screaming over loud music doesn't foster meaningful connection.”“Gathering people is a courageous act.”“We've been very conditioned to not say anything challenging, or unpleasing, or just don't talk, period.”Resources:SIGN UP for The Joy List.READ The Joy List blog.Jillian's book, Un-Lonely Planet.Jillian's articles on MediumArticle: “Lonely?

Christina Crook on how Covid-19 has helped us leave the FOMO-fuelled Age of You behind. Welcome to the Age of Us. In this episode, we explore the many ways the COVID-19 crisis can teach us about ourselves- and joy.

Christina Crook of #JOMO: The Joy of Missing Out, Finding Balance in a Wired World. Christina and Vicki talk about the intersection of technology, relationships and joy based on Christina’s experience of a 30-day technology fast, chronicled in her book. They explore the personal richness that emerges when we unplug from devices and connect to self and nature.
