Untangling Ourselves from Technology w/ Menka Sanghvi

In this episode I’m speaking with London-based mindfulness guide, writer, researcher and photographer Menka Sanghvi. 

Menka is the founder of Just Looking, a creative project to spread curiosity and wonder. She is also the producer and host of the Mind Over Tech podcast, and the author of the highly acclaimed Fieldbook for Mindfulness Innovators. 

I got to know Menka because she serves alongside me as a Trustee for the Breathworks charity and she is also an advisor for several other wellbeing projects. 

Her background is multidisciplinary and incredibly impressive – with a degree in Physics from Cambridge University, extensive training in design thinking with IDEO and others, and a lifelong study of contemplative practices. Previously Menka led global innovation projects for the United Nations. 

Menka and I talk about her mindfulness journey, how we can start untangling ourselves from what she terms “intellectual tech” and how these technologies can either enable or undermine our wellbeing.
