233: In a World Filled with Distractions, How Can You Live with an Expansive Mind? Nate Klemp Answers

Nate Klemp, PhD, is a writer, philosopher, and entrepreneur. Most recently, Nate is the author of the new book OPEN: Living with an Expansive Mind in a Distracted World . The book explores how screen addiction and political polarization have closed the modern mind. Using new science, age-old practices, and life experiments, Open investigates tools we can use to cultivate a more open mind. In today’s episode, Nate joins Erin to discuss what it means to open ourselves up to the other side, to really try to experience for ourselves the opposing belief system, and what that can create. Nate explains why he never experienced politics the same way after writing Open , what he means by “behavioral architecture” and “dopamine dessert,” and why overindulgence might be the answer sometimes. If you’re looking for a mindset shift on what it means to be curious in a world that banks on certainty and distraction addiction – this is the episode for you.
