203: Overcoming Digital Addiction in Today’s Digital Age with Jennie Ketcham Crooks

by Max Ahumada | Jan 13, 2025 | Podcast

In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest issues in engineering and tech: digital addiction.

Digital screen use throttles our creativity and heightens our anxiety – a bad mix for engineering leadership today, and worse for the leaders of tomorrow.

Jennie Ketcham Crooks, an anxiety and OCD specialist from Seattle, explores in her research how pervasive smartphone and device use impacts us on both a career and cultural level.

She has been featured as a guest lecturer at Harvard University, and has recently appeared on a number of popular television shows from Headline News and The View, to Oprah.

As our digital overconsumption continues to be fed with the release of each shiny new gadget, it’s become increasingly challenging to put down our screens and interact meaningfully with the world and people around us. This constant barrage of digital engagement negatively affects both the quality of our relationships and our mental health.

Jenny and I discuss her new book, ‘Look Up: A 30 Day Path to Digital Minimalism and Real Life Maximalism’, which offers practical steps to eliminate the negative effects of digital overload.
