Generation Anxiety explores the social conditions that are making us stressed, and asks how can we work together to solve them.

8. Reclaim Your Brain From Advertising
Ads are a ubiquitous part of the world we've grown up in: they peer at us from billboards, sit next to us on the train and obnoxiously clog up our news feeds. No matter where you look there are ads and it's only getting worse. You probably find ads annoying, but have you ever stopped to ask what impact all that advertising might be having on your brain? Because it turns out it's probably not good for you.

Generation Anxiety
Loved it, such a great podcast
Highly recommend
Listen & share! Gratitude & Affirmation.
Cathartic and inspiring!
Excellent podcast, I'd recommend the first episode of season 2 as an introduction - a great discussion on how the struggles of so many marginalised people are all intertwined. I've heard so many lectures/podcasts on topics discussed in the episodes but generation anxiety still always brings a new perspective. Surprisingly refreshing listening considering many of us might think we've heard it all before. Thoroughly recommend!
