#012 - You Need to Spend More Time Alone - Dr. Sybil Geldart

My guest today is Sybil Geldart. She is an associate professor of psychology at Wilfrid Laurier University (Ontario, Canada), with research interests broadly based in human development and health psychology

She is also trained in cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches.

Both in teaching and clinical practice, Dr. Geldart equips adults and young people with a toolbox of coping and life skills to help deal with the many stressors we all face at work and school including in Her recent self-help book, Alone Time: Embracing Solitude for Health and Well-Being

Expect to learn

-       How smartphones have damaged our mental health

-       Why taking time for solitude is so important

-       How to set boundaries so you can stay connected to people whilst also getting some alone time

-       The techniques to help build the right habits for kids so they are not screen-dependent

-       What the so-called “Blue zones” of the world do better than the rest of us

And a whole lot more. Sybil’s research into the importance of solitude and alone time is fascinating and for those with a busy mind, her advice will be invaluable.
