In this episode, I share my thoughts about how many of us have lost the art of listening, our distractions are consuming us, and we are not likely even aware of it. With our attentions directed at a screen most of the time, I reflect on how this is impacting our connectivity with others, and ultimately how it impacts our relationships, our lives and the lives of those around us. My thoughts follow with a meditative talk, to give you time to reflect on how this may impact your life.
I hope you enjoy it.
