Why did I want to talk with Andrew McConnell, the author of Get Out of My Head: Creating Modern Clarity with Stoic Wisdom? Andrew has not only achieved great career success but he's done so much to give back as a Board Member of Sheltering Arms—Georgia’s oldest nonprofit early childhood education program as well as a founding Board Member of Atlanta Technology Leaders and a TechStars Mentor for Social Impact Startups.
Andrew’s drive to share encouragement, resources, understanding, and techniques has led to the creation of this book We discuss intentional living, events that happen in our lives, and how we determine rather or not we reflect on them as positive or negative.
As well we talk about breaking dopamine addiction with the understanding that our brains have ancient functions that don't serve us in modern society and how the brain's reward system has to be controlled by our conscience mind.
