Sarah Boyd's book "Turn Down the Noise" addresses the neural breakdown that happens when we are overwhelmed, distracted, and depleting our pre-frontal cortex. It is an incredible conversation between Jennifer and Sarah about the limitations of our brain, the costs of devices on parents and children, the importance of rest, and 5 principles to reverse degenerating attention span, reduce distraction, and restore mental peace.
Sarah presents the overwhelm inherent in modern life as the missing piece when we are examining dysfunction in our life that maybe counselling, better food, or more sleep isn't fixing. Also, the future needs children who are imaginative and creative, and these are skills that are developed in space and quiet not through reams of work and activities.
