Author and adventurer, David Norwell, reflects on the pervasive issue of screen addiction, exploring the roots of addictive behaviors and offering personal insights from his process with online pornography. Drawing parallels between his 1,700km kayaking journey to Alaska and a 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat, he discusses the challenges of overcoming behavioral addictions and the importance of understanding one's cravings. David advocates for setting boundaries with technology and sharing personal strategies for breaking free from addictive patterns. By sharing his challenging journey and emphasizing the significance of mental health practices, David prompts viewers to consider their relationship with technology, encouraging a thoughtful and balanced approach for a healthier, more connected life." Hailing from various parts of British Columbia, David immersed himself in the outdoors due to his parents' forestry background. A seasoned adventurer, he spent his 20s in remote bush camps, engaging in kayaking, and cycle-touring expeditions. His bestselling book, "A Complex Coast: A Kayak Journey from Vancouver Island to Alaska," garnered acclaim. David is an illustrator of Tibetan children's books, has visited 33 countries, and is a dedicated explorer. He sailed across the Atlantic and Indian Ocean, trekked the Himalayas with a kitten, and delved into the human experience through his travels. Passionate about addiction, intervention, and mental health, he focuses on these intersections in our tech-centric world. Beyond his literary pursuits, David volunteers at schools, studies Buddhism, and practices meditation.
