How to Engage with Technology Without Losing Your Mind | Soren Gordhamer

How not to forget what actually matters.

Soren Gordhamer is the host of Wisdom 2.0, a conference about mindfulness and compassion in the modern age. He's also a Co-Founder and General Partner of Wisdom Ventures, which invests in companies creating a more just and compassionate world. His new book is called THE ESSENTIAL: Discovering What Really Matters in an Age of Distraction.

In this episode we talk about:

  • What Soren means by "the essential"
  • The current and future impact of AI on the economy, our mental health, and society at large
  • What Soren thinks the world looks like in 5, 10, 15 years from now
  • Useful strategies for managing technology with an iota of balance and wisdom
  • How to get familiar with the unseen stories that run your life—so that they Don't have so much power over you
  • The number one question for our time, per Soren
  •  Whether or not we humans are actually going to do this "essential" work before it's too late
  • Whether the people designing these systems have the best interest of the species at heart

David Gelles

David Gelles

The author of "Mindful Work," New York Times reporter David Gelles is a self-described "sporadic meditator." During the day, Gelles says he uses so-called "meditation hacks," such as waiting a beat or two before picking up a ringing phone or practicing walking meditation around the office at work. Earlier this month, he wrote an op-ed for the New York Times Sunday Review called "The Hidden Price of Mindfulness, Inc.," in which he talked about the "mindfulness economy" and the hundreds of products out there, from books to apps to a dairy-free mayonnaise substitute called Mindful Mayo, all carrying a "mindfulness" label.

Weezer's Rivers Cuomo

Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo has been writing and singing hit songs for more than two decades. But this Grammy-winning rocker, whose lyrics about relationships, promiscuity and drug use helped Weezer become what some argue is the father of today's emo genre, credits his success and stability to his daily practice of meditation.
