In this episode of Discover U, join host JD Kalmenson as he and Mari discuss the psychological impact of social media algorithms and how they are psychologically designed to keep us hooked with unpredictable content.
They explore signs of hope that society may be reaching what author Arthur Brooks calls a "Peak Addiction Point" with devices and is beginning to seek real, offline connection. Mari offers an introduction to the Human Design system, a tool she describes as a fusion of ancient wisdom—like astrology and the I-Ching—and modern science, such as quantum physics and genetics, to reveal one's unique genetic imprint. She outlines the four main energy types—Generators, Manifestors, Projectors, and Reflectors—that help people understand how they are designed to show up in the world.
The conversation also covers how to tune into your body's wisdom to make decisions that are correct for you, rather than letting your "monkey mind" take over. To learn more about Mari Smith, visit her website at marismith.com.
