Do you do audio books? Different than reading though. I can't read books anymore. :/
That gives us the perception of control, maybe?
I think so. It makes us feel like we can change something and the numbers tell us if we did or didn't. We should be better at actually noticing the changes though, right?
I have always wondered how the people who are constantly doing the bare minimum, feel about themselves.
I do podcasts about philosophy and other topics I find interesting. I didn't jump to the audiobook-side, yet, as I hope to be able to find the time to read on paper. I'm not good at standing still while listening. So I would probably do something else while listening to the audiobook, which would likely lead to lack of concentration.
We should be better at actually noticing the changes though, right?
Absolutely, but we're not only disconnected from each other, but also within us. At least many people are, either not noticing, or ignoring the signs the body gives.
