It's interesting because it's such preaching to the choir, this book, because I've already talked about this on the podcast many times, because it's something that bothers me so much and that I think is so like it's fucking me up so much.
Ever wondered how a simple sip of sparkling water can spark a cascade of thoughts on life and sobriety? In this episode of 'This Week in Sparkling Water', Joakim Eriksson invites listeners into his new studio, kicking things off with a light-hearted look at his cooking mishaps. But that's just the appetizer. The main course is a deep dive into Johan Hari's book, 'Stolen Focus', where Joakim tackles the all-too-familiar issue of social media's grip on our attention spans.
If you've ever found yourself endlessly scrolling through Facebook, you'll find his take both relatable and eye-opening. He even breaks down the seven words that seem to hook us the most on these platforms. Moving on from the digital world, Joakim introduces the 'Three Faces of Berry'—a trio of sparkling waters featuring Mountain Blackberry from Clearly Canadian, Strawberry Lemon from Poppi, and Acai Blueberry from Yerbaé.
His reviews are as refreshing as the drinks themselves, though he doesn’t shy away from critiquing Yerbaé’s use of aspartame. The episode also touches on more personal topics, like Joakim's fear of forgetting life's good moments while the bad ones stick around. He shares a charming anecdote about rediscovering goats he had forgotten seeing on a previous drive. The conversation then shifts to artificial intelligence and the complexities of context, providing a thought-provoking look at the challenges facing AI development.
Joakim wraps things up with a reflection on task switching and a nostalgic nod to how some things seemed simpler in the past. This episode is a blend of humor, introspection, and sparkling water reviews that will leave you both entertained and contemplative.
