Quotes to ponder:

"The distractions of the digital age hack the vulnerabilities of our psychology. They give us little microbursts of dopamine that feel good in the moment, but amount to very little in the grand scheme of things."

"I’ve argued for years now that facing uncomfortable emotions is precisely what makes us grow as individuals."
