New York, Loneliness And The Sound Inside

I just returned from a quick vacation back in Ohio and New York visiting my family so today on The Spiritual Spiral Podcast, I felt inspired to share stories and thoughts from my trip and talk about the puzzling behavior I witnessed while I was away. Whether it's passengers on an airplane looking at Instagram during take off, people staring at their phones while working out at the gym, chefs looking at their phones while cooking, or people walking into each other on the streets of New York, I talk about these cultural trends and wonder if anything can be done to stop it. I also share thoughts about a wonderful new play I watched in New York called The Sound Inside written by Adam Rapp and starring Mary Louise-Parker. I was struck by the play's theme of loneliness, anxiety and technology's impact on the loneliness epidemic found in America. If you enjoy the show, please share it with friends or head on over to iTunes and write a quick review.
