Something Is Very Wrong With Modern Life - Arthur Brooks

Arthur Brooks is a social scientist at Harvard, a happiness columnist, and a former classical musician turned think tank CEO turned professor. Chris Williamson sits him down for nearly two hours and asks the blunt question: what is actually wrong with modern life? Brooks answers with a single diagnosis that he then proves from a dozen angles. We are living in a simulation, not a science fiction one but a real one, where algorithms feed us a left brain counterfeit of a life whose deepest needs are right brain.
