About this episode

In this episode of the Follow2Lead Podcast, we welcome back Carlos Whittaker to discuss his latest book, Reconnected: How 7 Screen-Free Weeks with Monks and Amish Farmers Helped Me Recover the Lost Art of Being Human. Carlos shares his transformative experience of stepping away from technology and diving into the simplicity of life with monks and Amish farmers.

Join us as Carlos explores:

  • The Power of Disconnection: How removing screens and distractions helped him rediscover what it means to be fully present.
  • Lessons from Monks and Amish Farmers: Insights on how these communities live intentionally, focusing on connection, peace, and purpose.
  • The Lost Art of Being Human: What Carlos learned about being human in a world dominated by technology and constant noise.
  • Practical Takeaways: How we can all incorporate screen-free time and intentional practices into our daily lives to reconnect with ourselves and others.

Carlos’s journey of reconnection offers timely lessons for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the digital world and longing for deeper relationships and more meaningful living.
