"Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master." --Christian Lous Lange

How to Kick Your Digital Addiction

Technology can bring happiness. Anyone who's found the perfect meditation app or downloaded a grandchild's photo won't doubt that.But technology can also bring anxiety, stress, and frustration. And that seems to be a given, too, making us throw our hands in the air. Amy Blankson, author of the new book "The Future of Happiness: 5 Modern Strategies for Balancing Productivity and Well-Being in the Digital Era", argues we should take back control of our happiness by pausing, becoming more self-aware, and setting intentional goals for our technological interactions. That way, we'll cultivate more connection and productivity and less stress and loneliness in our digital lives.
