Ep. 1: Why is Everyone Meditating?

De: Alice Fraser, Ash Ranpura

Alice Fraser starts this series by telling a story about how the world is speeding up. How did we get to a place where everything is so fast all the time? A place where we have no time to slow down. She chats to Robert Colville, an author who has written about the history of speeding up.

Ash talks to Brigid Schulte. She wrote a book called Overwhelmed: How To Love Work And Play When No One Has The Time. She says technology and time management are taking over our lives and making us more and more distracted. And that is actually changing our brains. The episode will end with the author and journalist Robert Wright talking about the idea of the red pill in the Matrix. He tells Alice we have deluded ourselves for too long but there is a way out: meditation.

Update:
Yes this podcast has pushed me to finally give it a go and for at least a month, even if just for a minute. common we've all got a minute and more a day. what would you rather do... feel miserable after 5min on social media or take a minute to 5min for yourself. Literally helping & improving yourself. it's a no brainer for me. Thank you for this valuable podcast. loved it!
