How tuned-in are you to your surroundings?  Would you say you're very aware, or do things tend to catch you by surprise?

I asked myself this question after seeing this video from TED. (No joke, I ended up watching it five times.)  What really hit home for me was the idea that we're the most overstimulated generation ever ...which goes a long way in explaining why so many of us feel numb.

In the last century, the world has changed faster than our species can evolve, and this has taken a toll on our quality of life.  Many of us are stressed, exhausted and struggle with a sense that something is missing.  If you look at the world we're living in, you can see why.
