About this listen

In this episode, we explore one of the most urgent yet overlooked challenges of our time: mastering the mind.

From the latest neuroscience on the shrinking prefrontal cortex and the power of neuroplasticity, to the insights of ancient wisdom traditions, philosophy, and the Christian faith—we take you on a journey into the thoughts that shape our lives and the society around us.

This episode is based on an essay co-written by Michael Appelt and ChatGPT, with the audio discussion created using Google’s NotebookLM.
You'll hear reflections on anxiety, attention, and public discourse, as well as an invitation to reframe how we live, think, and speak in an age of distraction.
