Episode The REAL Problem With Gen Z - Social Scientist Reveals the Truth
In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with former Harvard professor and bestselling author Arthur Brooks for a conversation on happiness, meaning, smartphones, faith, and why modern life is making us miserable. We discuss the hidden cost of constant distraction, Gen Z's mental health crisis, prayer, suffering, social media, and why a meaningful life requires boredom, real relationships, and a deeper connection with God. A fascinating conversation about happiness, purpose, and what it truly means to live well.LIVE EVENT: Is Islam compatible with the West?
