102 Monks, Mystics, and Madmen

Have you ever tried sitting in complete silence with nothing but your own thoughts? No phone. No music. No distractions. Just you.

If that idea makes you uncomfortable, you’re not alone, and that’s exactly the problem.In this episode of The Observing I, we dive deep into the lost art of solitude - why being alone has become something we fear, how history’s greatest thinkers and mystics embraced isolation, and how modern life is engineered to keep you constantly distracted.

And if you think this is just another self-improvement gimmick, think again - because at the end of this episode, I’m challenging you to something radical: 24 hours without screens, without social media, without external input. Just you, alone, facing your own mind.

Most people won’t do it.The question is: Will you?

Much love, David
