Digital Culture: Understanding, Navigating, and Making the Most of Life in an Always-On World

By Rijul Arora

Between endless notifications, the ubiquitous presence of screens in our day-to-day lives, and the expectation to be “always-on,” there’s no doubt that we live in a digitally driven culture. Life in digital society can come with benefits, including the ease of access to information — but it can also wear us out, harm our health, and isolate us from our loved ones. In a world that’s always logged in, how can we cope and thrive?

In Digital Culture: Understanding, Navigating, and Making the Most of Life in an Always-On World, a course from Everand Coach, digital wellness expert Rijul Arora aims to answer exactly that question. Beginning by explaining the conditions under which this digital culture emerged and why it’s so important to navigate it with care, Arora offers solutions to common problems caused by digital culture at the individual, organizational, and societal level. In the course, Arora offers strategies for maximizing productivity and wellness when you’re always expected to have a screen nearby; gives evidence-based suggestions for improving the digital culture in your company or community; and much more.

Up-to-date and written by a recognized expert in the world of digital wellness, Digital Culture is an excellent resource and compelling call to action for anyone looking to improve their relationship with technology, or anyone seeking inspiration to build a better digital world.
