Return to Real Life

from Something More Human

Could we get 100+ people to leave their phones behind and exist in the present moment for three consecutive hours? We created Return to Real Life, a phone-free in person experience, to find out. This episode is inspired by Jonathan Haidt’s new book, The Anxious Generation, which touches on the mental health crises of adolescents that began in the early 2010s. He believes, and so do we, that our phones have a major role to play in society’s declining mental health, and Return to Real Life is a series not focused on vilifying phones, but rather acknowledging that there are better things we could be doing with our time, and all the great things that can come from community gatherings without distractions.
