The Obsession With Attention

Today on the Spiritual Spiral Podcast, I felt inspired to talk about our culture's obsession with attention. Why are people so wrapped up with getting more attention seemingly all the time? Did Instagram create this craze or has it always been here? When you see people posting non stop selfies on Instagram, do you see the insecurity permeating off your phone? Do you see authentic behavior or someone who is screaming for attention? I share a story about a woman I saw at the pool today and I wonder if she was there to exercise or merely to capture some sexy selfies for Instagram. I also talk about a TED TALK i recently watched where actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt shares his views and struggles with technology and this concept of wanting attention versus paying attention. Next up, I welcome yoga teacher Meredith Fogg Liebross to the show which should land on all podcast sites Monday or Tuesday of next week.
