Ep: 1820 Patricia Martin - Will The Future Like You?

Patricia Martin, host of the Jung in the World podcast, explores the challenges that tech and the internet impose on the human psyche and offers a revelatory adventure through the processes that make us who we are. She argues that 24/7 online connectivity reshapes not only our sense of self, but erodes our very ability to form our identities. We form identity in three ways: how we see ourselves, how others see us and our will to shape ourselves. But, with the internet that world has been blown completely open, its boundaries obliterated. The once contained arenas where our identities formed—the neighborhood, school or workplace—have been radically expanded to the entirety of the digital realm, including the dark web and mainstream platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Martin's work has been featured in the Harvard Business Review, Huffington Post, The NY Times, Slate and Psyche Magazine.
