About this episode

<p>Manoush Zomorodi, host of <em>TED Radio Hour</em>, takes over as guest host of<em>TED Talks Daily</em> this week to answer a timely question: What does it mean to be human right now, as technology reshapes everything around us? She brings together seven thinkers — scientists, doctors, parents, an artist — to wrestle with how we stay connected to ourselves, and our bodies, in a world that keeps pulling us away. First up, Manoush is joined by Elise Hu to dig into the ideas that are going to be explored this week. They discuss her new book, <em>Body Electric</em>, which explores the hidden health costs of our sedentary lifestyle, and what we can all be doing to reverse the damages.</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
