Smartphone Self-Defense

Technology is getting more addictive by the day, and that’s not an accident. Smartphones, social media, and online ads are precision-engineered to hijack your attention and keep you hooked. It’s their business model. The more time and attention they take from you, the more money they make. Luckily, there are easy ways to fight back.

In this program, we’ll learn “attentional self-defense”: simple, powerful methods for beating digital distraction. We’ll discover how to enjoy the benefits of technology without succumbing to its pitfalls. In doing so, we’ll draw ideas from mindfulness meditation, cognitive psychology, user experience design, and digital product philosophy.

Improving Focus, Effectiveness, and Well-Being through Mindfulness

In this program, I give participants the fundamental skills to bring calm, clarity, and focus into their lives and work. I teach a simple, effective sitting meditation practice and other mindfulness tools tailored to a modern professional's unique challenges and busy workday.

Participants leave this program with everything they need to establish a robust mindfulness practice that will improve performance and reduce stress.
