Dr. Mitika Kanabar: Speaker on the Attention & Attachment Economy

Dr. Mitika Kanabar MD is a physician and speaker who looks at how technology is changing human behavior. She is triple board-certified and holds the rank of Distinguished Fellow of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (DFASAM).

Her talks focus on the shift from the Attention Economy to the Attachment Economy. She explains how modern platforms aren’t just taking our time, they are designed to mimic human emotional bonds, creating deep dependencies that many people don’t even realize are happening.

A Stanford-trained specialist and a graduate of Heroic Public Speaking, Dr. Kanabar is known for making complex brain science easy to understand. She speaks on the front lines of the modern digital crisis: mobile gambling, gaming disorders, and the specific exhaustion that comes from being constantly plugged in.

Beyond the clinical data, she uses her MindSattva framework to help people find a way out. Sattva is a Sanskrit term for balance and clarity. By linking ancient wisdom with an understanding of how the brain works, Dr. Kanabar helps her audiences spot the hooks in their tech so they can get back to a state of equilibrium and reclaim their lives.
