Technology is a double-edged sword in our pursuit of peace and silence. It helps us to live our lives efficiently but often becomes a source of constant, unwanted noise. In this episode, Dr. Mandla advises listeners to be mindful of the potential negative influences technology can have on peace and tranquility. He suggests the best way to lessen these effects is by practicing restraint or limiting its use, especially during supposed rest periods.

They also share how different cultures perceive silence and the varying degrees of comfort levels with silence across generations. For people who find silence unfamiliar or uncomfortable, Dr. Mandla recommends facing it as a challenge to train themselves to embrace silence gradually. He discusses the benefits of practicing silence, from achieving mental clarity to reducing stress and spurred creativity.

The conversation then shifts to how things can impact our inner peace, from constant external noise to the internal noise generated by psychological influences. Listeners will get a deeper understanding of how inner peace can help them maintain their emotional barriers against the distractions of the outer world. This episode also highlights various insights on seeking solace even amidst the urban chaos and noise pollution's detrimental effects on one's overall health.

Join us in this thoughtful exploration of peace, silence, and rest. It concludes with an enlightening excerpt from Dr. Mandla's book, "Conquer Your Mountains," a wellspring of inspiration that prompts introspection, self-realization, and resiliency. Tune in to listen, reflect, and be inspired.
