In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John and Sam meet with Josh Hochschild, co-author of A Mind At Peace, to discuss the fact that modern technology is designed with the human person as the product to be sold, and how the addictive elements are disrupting and deadening our relationship with God, our family and friends, and ourselves. We also discuss the hierarchy of virtues a man needs to work on to regain control of his faculties and grow in holiness.

In this episode we discuss;

How technology is here to stay but does NOT need to control us
How the perennial teachings of the Church can still be used for this combat
How each of us struggle and have certain practices we use to stay disciplined
And more
