 Okay, so the title is a bit salacious, but sincere, nevertheless.
But I am completely serious when I talk about the “Sneaky Beast” that is growing within and around us. It’s keeping us from the kind of connection and contentedness that could only come from being fully present and engaged. Although this may be especially challenging for those who are already struggling with socializing, anxiety or depression, it really applies to us all. The figurative beast that I am referring to is media, all media in its full obsequious glory. Not just social media, all forms of disconnected nonliving interaction, like gaming, dating apps, YouTube or even Netflix. Remember, they were all designed to keep you engaged and entertained and coming back for more, and that is exactly where the beast lies in wait.
