Don’t miss this heartfelt account of a guy who recovered from porn addiction.
By sharing his challenging journey and emphasizing the significance of mental health practices, David prompts viewers to consider their relationship with technology, encouraging a thoughtful and balanced approach for a healthier, more connected life.” Hailing from various parts of British Columbia, David immersed himself in the outdoors due to his parents’ forestry background. A seasoned adventurer, he spent his 20s in remote bush camps, engaging in kayaking, and cycle-touring expeditions. His bestselling book, “A Complex Coast: A Kayak Journey from Vancouver Island to Alaska,” garnered acclaim. David is an illustrator of Tibetan children’s books, has visited 33 countries, and is a dedicated explorer. He sailed across the Atlantic and Indian Ocean, trekked the Himalayas with a kitten, and delved into the human experience through his travels. Passionate about addiction, intervention, and mental health, he focuses on these intersections in our tech-centric world. Beyond his literary pursuits, David volunteers at schools, studies Buddhism, and practices meditation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
