In a world that’s never been more comfortable, why are so many people struggling?

This week, my guest is Dr. Alok Kanojia, medical doctor, psychiatrist and one the world’s foremost authorities on mental health for the gaming community. He is known online as Dr K and is the co-founder of Healthy Gamer, a mental health platform that provides content and coaching to help young people take control of their wellbeing and he’s also the author of the bestselling book: How to Raise a Healthy Gamer: End Power Struggles, Break Bad Screen Habits, and Transform Your Relationship with Your Kids.

One of the things I like the most about Alok is his competence and expertise in both western medical and eastern philosophies: he has both trained to be a monk in India and he has a Western medical degree and practices as a psychiatrist.

During our conversation, you will learn:

• Why comfort might be the greatest threat to our mental health and how the brain and mind “rust” without regular use
• How technology is rewiring our attention and what ‘doom-scrolling’ is really doing to our brains
• Why our emotional regulation is weakening and how simple acts like taking the stairs can recondition the mind
• The difference between the brain and the mind and why understanding this could transform how we approach mental illness
• Why meditation isn’t a one-size-fits-all and how finding the right technique for your brain can make all the difference
• The true meaning and essence of happiness
• The link between ancient wisdom and modern psychiatry, and why you may be the only person that is truly qualified to heal your mind.

Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to not only think differently, but to live differently, as well. Alok reminds us that healing doesn’t always require a prescription or a therapist, but it does require courage, awareness and a willingness to face discomfort.

Whether it’s choosing to take the stairs, sitting in silence for five minutes or resisting the urge to reach for our phones, each of these seemingly small acts are actually powerful tools that can help us feel calm, connected and in control. I hope you enjoy listening.
