Why do more and more young people wake up and reach for their phones as the first thing in the morning? Why do they still feel tired, anxious, and lack motivation even after a full night’s sleep?
In this edition of “American Thought Leaders,” host Yang Jie Kai interviews Adnan Alkhalili, the founder of TouchGrass Together, to delve into the phenomenon of “Brain Rot” and how social media, Discord, short videos, and virtual worlds are reshaping the lives, relationships, and mental health of Generation Z.
Adnan shares his personal experience of being addicted to the internet, gaming, staying up late, and unhealthy eating habits, which eventually led to anxiety and panic attacks. He also introduced the concept of “Touch Grass,” advocating for reconnecting with the real world through sun exposure, exercise, socializing, and healthy eating.
