Dr. Tchiki Davis is a writer, consultant, and expert at the intersection of happiness and technology. After earning her Ph.D. from The University of California in Berkeley in psychology, Dr. Tchiki created The Berkeley Well-Being Institute (berkeleywellbeing.com) to translate the science of happiness in technology products that promote well-being—these products that have reached more than a million people worldwide.

Dr. Tchiki now focuses mostly on writing content that helps people develop health & happiness in the digital age. Her new book: Outsmart Your Smartphone: Conscious Tech Habits for Finding Happiness, Balance, and Connection IRL, is not a book about the evils of technology—it’s a road map for engaging with technology in the ways that make us truly happy.

With this smart and irreverent guide, you’ll find seven steps to help you use technology in ways that increase your well-being, and find tips and tricks for overcoming the obstacles that technology creates. You’ll also learn to use technology in ways that help you: Reconnect with your values, including kindness and gratitude, find your purpose in life—and then live it, and develop mindfulness to become more present in each moment. Most of us are hooked on our smartphones—we’re spending more time on social networks, shopping online, and checking our notifications, “likes”, and text messages. But none of this is making us happy. So how can we outsmart our smartphones? How can we use our devices to generate true happiness, balance, and connection? In this book, you’ll discover seven simple steps for creating a healthier relationship with technology. The skills you’ll learn can help you overcome Internet addiction, make the most of your screen time, and even boost your happiness using the tools available to you on the net, social media, and your smartphone. https://www.amazon.com/Outsmart-Your-Smartphone-Conscious-Connection/dp/1684033497/
