AVICII'S LIFE AFTER REHAB
Once he completed his month in rehab, Avicii seemed to have a new outlook on life. He was
meditating regularly, reading about the collective unconscious, and got a puppy. After not
performing for a long period of time, he returned to the stage in 2016 at Miami's Ultra Music
Festival. It was announced a few days after this gig that he would not be performing live anymore.
Avicii chose to not perform so that he could focus on bettering his mental health.
Despite appearing to have new-found stability, Avicii still struggled to deal with his mental
health issues. While continuing to suppress the anxiety and depression that he frequently felt,
Avicii also started to become disinterested in his music career. During this time, he was smoking
and drinking on occasion which may have resulted in a resurgence of his disassociation feelings.
He told Tereza Kacerova, his girlfriend at the time, “What if everyone around me is just a
projection in my mind? Sometimes I just think these things. About how nothing really matters.”
Avicii started to focus heavily on meditation which he found to be helpful in clearing the
“nonsense” from his mind. He believed that a deep form of meditation taught by Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi was a way to exercise his brain which he had decided would lead to his happiness.
Despite this form of meditation typically being done in 20 minute increments, Avicii would
sometimes spend full days meditating in an attempt to reach enlightenment faster.

answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
DEPENDENCE ON TECHNOLOGY: TIME FOR CHANGE!
[I] Los Angeles dancer, Brian Perez, was eating out with his friends one evening when
suddenly everyone went quiet. [II] To his horror, he saw that the reason for this was that people
were checking their phones. [III] What if they all put their gadgets in a pile in the middle of the
table until they had finished the meal? [IV] If anyone picked up their phone, that person would
have to pay the whole bill. And so, it is said, the game of 'phone stacking' was born.
The necessity for action like this highlights a major problem in today's society: our
inability to disconnect from technology. But while Brian's idea deals with the obsession in a social
context, measures also need to be taken at home. Some people drop their smartphones into a box
the moment they arrive home, which gives them the chance to interact with the people they live
with. The fact that the phone cannot be heard - it is on silent - nor seen - the flashing lights are
hidden by the box - means that they are no longer tempted to use it.
A less drastic solution is to ban electronic devices at certain times of day when the whole
family is likely to be together, for example at meal times. This can be hard for everyone, from
teenagers desperate to text friends to parents unable to switch off from work. On a normal day,
however, dinner takes less than an hour, and the benefits of exchanging opinions and
anecdotes with the rest of the family certainly makes up for the time spent offline.
Taking a break from technology is one thing, but knowing when to turn off a device is
another. Time seems to stand still in the virtual world, and before you know it, you find that it is
three o'clock in the morning. This is where a digital curfew comes in handy, a set time when all
devices must be put away. Evenings without technology are usually nice and peaceful and make a
more agreeable end to the day. And then it's time for bed. One of the best ways of ensuring you
can sleep at night is to ban electronic devices altogether from the bedroom. Lying next to a
machine bursting with information is far from relaxing, and the sounds it emits during the night
