Today we’re joined by Tyler Rice, co-founder and CEO of the Digital Wellness Institute and author of the bestselling book Tactical Disconnection. After experiencing digital overwhelm during his first job in Silicon Valley, Tyler pursued advanced education at Stanford and NYU to develop solutions for our digital wellness in today’s always-on culture.
He’s now a sought-after speaker who has addressed audiences from the World Happiness Summit to Fortune 500 boardrooms, helping organizations like Delta Airlines, Mastercard & others to optimize their focus, productivity, and digital wellness programs.
Tyler’s research-backed approach teaches us how to master our relationship with technology, achieving what he calls the “Goldilocks Zone”—where tech enhances rather than depletes our well-being. Whether you’re exploring slow living, a social media detox, or using tools like an app blocker to stay focused, Tyler offers practical ways to live and work better.
