In this episode, we're diving into the fascinating world of digital wellness - not just as a buzzword, but as a crucial aspect of modern life that has evolved alongside our increasingly digital existence. We'll explore how technology transformed from a simple tool into an integral part of our daily routines, and how this integration has fundamentally changed the way we live, work, and interact. But here's what makes this episode special: we're tackling one of the biggest challenges of the digital age - social comparison. Taking inspiration from Robert Greene's analytical approach in works like "The 48 Laws of Power" and "The Art of Seduction," we'll break down different content creator archetypes. By understanding these archetypes, you'll gain powerful insights into how digital content is crafted and consumed, helping you navigate social media with greater awareness and reduced anxiety. Through this framework, we'll uncover the strategic nature of online personas and learn how to develop a healthier relationship with digital content.
