Are you tired of feeling guilty for indulging in distracting activities during your free time? Do you find yourself constantly scrolling through your phone or binge-watching Netflix instead of doing something more productive? Fear not! In this podcast, Gen Demo will take you on a journey to understand why we feel the need to distract ourselves and how we can find a more relaxing solution. This is taken from a teaching given by Gen Demo at Kadampa Meditation Center DC and is based on the book How to Solve our Human Problems by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
