ABSTRACT
It's awesome that we are all so connected, but the real question is, how are we connected? More specifically:
How can our time connected via technology enhance our creativity and well-being instead of adding to our frustration and stress?
How can we engage creatively with our work such that we are more likely to calmly complete a project in four hours rather than stressing and banging our head to complete it in eight?
How can our time connected be more focused and less scattered?
In this talk, focused on Stress Relief for the Creative and Constantly Connected, teachings from ancient wisdom traditions like Zen will be used to address these questions. Using material from his forthcoming book on this subject, the speaker will offer tools for living sanely and effectively in this increasingly connected world.
