Hey everyone, Furkhan Dandia here! In this episode of EZ Conversations, I'm thrilled to sit down with Jane Marie Auret, the insightful author of Screens in the Ego: A Meditation on Gen Z. Jane brings a unique perspective to the table, drawing from her rich experiences and deep reflections on modern mental health treatment.\nWe dive into Jane's journey, starting with her eye-opening critiques of ineffective therapy methods she encountered personally. As someone who has worked as an RA and a youth specialist, Jane shares candidly about the glaring gaps in current mental health interventions and why they often fall short. She passionately argues for a more holistic approach, suggesting that returning to the ancient concept of the soul could offer more meaningful solutions.\nOur conversation delves into the pervasive impact of social media on mental health today. Jane critically examines how secular and medicalized views on mental health might be missing the mark, advocating instead for the importance of moral philosophy in achieving true inner peace.\nThroughout our talk, Jane opened up about her own life experiences, including her battle with cancer, the challenges she faced in academia, and the toxic environment she often encountered there. These personal anecdotes highlight her belief in the need for a spiritual and moral grounding to navigate the complexities of modern life.\nJoin us for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional mental health paradigms and explores the potential for more soulful and philosophical approaches to well-being. You won't want to miss Jane's powerful insights and inspiring journey. Tune in, and let's dive deep together!\n\nJane-Marie Auret is a psychological writer and independent thinker.
