In this enlightening conversation, we speak with Tyler Rice, founder of the Digital Wellness Institute, exploring the concept of digital wellness and its significance in today's technology-driven world.

Tyler unpacks his latest book, Tactical Disconnection: The Secret to Health, Happiness, and Productivity in an Always-on World and emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between technology use and personal wellbeing, introducing the idea of 'tactical disconnection'—small, intentional breaks from technology to enhance productivity and happiness. The discussion also explores the challenges of digital overuse, the duality of our digital and authentic selves, and practical strategies for fostering a healthier workplace culture that prioritizes employee wellbeing.

You'll learn so much in this episode, including:

  • How digital wellness is the study of living harmoniously with technology.
  • The ways tactical disconnection involves small, intentional breaks from technology.
  • Why finding digital balance is crucial for productivity and happiness.
  • What makes it hard to disconnect and how compulsive design in technology captures our attention excessively.
  • The ways we show up as both a digital self and an authentic self.
  • The reasons positive psychology can motivate behavior change towards digital wellness.
  • How creating communication norms in teams enhances digital wellness.
  • PIA: How Perception, intention, and action are key components of digital wellness.
  • Why leaders should model digital wellness behaviors for their teams.
  • The ways in which health, happiness, and productivity are interconnected – and how digital wellness impacts them all.
