1KHO 222: Think Critically Especially When Youre Being Told Not To | Tom Hall, Optometrist and author of Brain Drive
I've been looking forward to this episode for a long time because I absolutely love Tom Hall's new books,\xa0Brain Drive\xa0and\xa0New Arridor. They are fascinating works of fiction that really get you thinking about the role of technology in our life... plus the books are page turners and they are clean! They're great options for tweens, teens, and beyond.\nAmazingly Tom is both an author and an optometrist! In this episode we discuss his new books as well as eye health and the impact of outdoor time on eyesight and eye functioning.\xa0\nTom reflects on childhood experiences that may have ingrained the belief that certain accomplishments are out of reach, emphasizing the power of imagination. He shares a personal journey of seeking productivity in his time and\xa0highlights the nerve-racking feeling of releasing your creative work into the world.\nThe episode concludes with a nostalgic reflection on the bygone era when outdoor play was the norm, and children stayed outside until the streetlights came on. Join Ginny Yurich and Tom Hall as they unravel the intersections of creativity, productivity, technology, and eye health on the 1000 Hours Outside Podcast.\n**\nOrder your copy of Brain Drive here >> https://amzn.to/3Gu4NnX\nOrder your copy of New Arridor here >> https://amzn.to/3uN6t9F\nLearn more about Tom here >>\xa0https://tomhallwrites.com/\nDownload the Book Club questions for Brain Drive here >>\xa0https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/brain-drive\nLearn more about your ad choices.
