#167 The Psychology of The Whimsical Era w/ Dr Megan Lee | Why Gen Z Is Quitting Their Phones

from Keegan and Company · host Keegan Hipgrave

The average Australian spends 7 hours a day on a screen. But something is shifting. Gen Z is revolting against screens, hustle culture, and the pressure to be productive every waking moment. They're calling it the rise of whimsy. Keegan sits down with Dr Megan Lee to unpack why young people are building "analog baskets," bricking their phones, and choosing imperfection over polished perfection. They get into why slowing down actually makes you better, how our lives have become performative, and why the things that make you feel the best are the ones nobody else sees. For more just like this, listen to Megan's first episode; "#121 Dr Megan Lee: How to be Happy".Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0LHMO0odO3xozfpQrjp3AN?si=-0uQbEfgSHe9LZF1vS83kA Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/121-dr-megan-lee-how-to-be-happy/id1695873736?i=1000724228539 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhtXXVS7gAg Follow Megan:Instagram WebsiteListen and subscribe: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4L7zyEBXeNYBDK4rRjBK0K Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/keegan-and-company/id1695873736 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Keeganandcompany Podcast Instagram: @keeganandcompanypodcastKeegans Instagram: @keeganhipgraveTikTok: @keeganandcompany  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
