He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

Finding a sense of balance in our "always-on culture" was tricky before the pandemic; now employers and employees find themselves at a breaking point with zoom fatigue, information overload, and remote work challenges. Unplugging is no longer a realistic option, as literally everything has moved online. It's time to explore new strategies for creating a realistic sense of balance. In this keynote, happiness expert Amy Blankson will present a new model for digital flourishing that helps individuals self-assess and strategize how to create a dynamic sense of balance in an otherwise unpredictable world.
