Some Sunday nights don’t just land on the dial — they reset the way you think.
This week’s SHAKE IT OFF WITH MERT & LUCAS, LIVE! brings two guests who cut straight into the psychological and technological forces shaping modern life. One hour examines the inner battles we carry; the next confronts the digital systems rewiring how we think, work, and relate. Two perspectives. One unflinching broadcast.
HOUR 1 — DR. MONICA VERMANI, Author of A Deeper Wellness
We open with Dr. Monica Vermani — returning to the show with the clarity, compassion, and clinical precision that made her a listener favorite. Her book A Deeper Wellness maps the emotional patterns, traumas, and habits that quietly dictate our lives. This hour goes beyond self‑help slogans and into the real work of healing: how to break cycles, build resilience, and reclaim a sense of grounded well‑being in a world that rarely slows down. It’s practical, honest, and immediately usable.
HOUR 2 — DR. JARED COONEY HORVATH, Author of The Digital Delusion
Then we shift to the cognitive battlefield with Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, whose new book The Digital Delusion dismantles the myths we’ve been sold about screens, learning, attention, and productivity. Horvath brings decades of neuroscience and education research to a simple but urgent question: What is technology doing to our minds — and what can we do about it? Expect a sharp, myth‑busting conversation that challenges assumptions and reframes the digital world we take for granted.
