#113 Bronwyn Williams: Gen-Z losing the ability to handle rejection | ever felt "burnt out"

Is AI making us socially fragile? 🤖 In this powerful conversation, psychologist Bronwyn Williams reveals the "sickening" reality of AI partners, why we are losing the ability to handle rejection, and the hidden "moral injury" destroying our workforce. The world is lonelier than ever, despite being more connected. We are replacing human eye gaze with digital avatars and trade-long-form thinking for ChatGPT prompts. But what is the actual cost to our brains? Bronwyn Williams, a veteran psychologist with 30 years of experience, sits down to discuss the shift from human-centric care to algorithm-driven isolation. We dive deep into the "rejection-sensitive" nature of modern society, why "all-affirming" AI is a danger to healthy relationships, and the truth about burnout that yoga classes won't fix. If you’ve ever felt "burnt out" despite doing everything right, or wondered how tech is changing your empathy—this episode is for you. --------------------------------- Disclaimer: This video is created for educational and informational purposes only.
