Our modern world is overflowing with stimulation from phones, social media, and endless choices, so it’s no wonder we feel distracted, anxious, and hooked on the things that drain our focus. But it’s not our fault. Our brains evolved for a world of scarcity, not the digital overload and excess we live in today.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Dr. Anders Hansen to explore how our modern world is hijacking our biology. Dr. Hansen shares insights from his time with a Kenyan hunter-gatherer tribe and the lifestyle habits that support their optimal health. He also explains why it’s essential to understand what our brains and instincts were initially designed to protect us from and why overcoming these challenges isn’t simply a matter of willpower.

Dr. Anders Hansen is a psychiatrist, speaker, award-winning author, and TV host. His books, The Attention Fix, The Happiness Cure, and The Mind-Body Method, have sold several million copies and topped bestseller lists worldwide.

In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Hansen dive into:

• Dr. Hansen’s experience with a hunter-gatherer tribe in Kenya (1:48)

• The tribe’s key lifestyle habits for optimal health (4:30)

• The “comfort crisis” and how time with your community transforms the brain (10:03
