Episode notes

The book is really, it's 108 tips, tricks and ideas for when you're reading it. They're anywhere from one minute up to over an hour. A lot of them are super private. People won't know you're using them. And I will share a simple breathing exercise that can decrease your own heart rate immediately.

Liza Kindred challenges us to be more mindful in how we use and design technology. She offers us a value system on how to do just that. She encourages us to slow down and incorporate meditation and mindfulness practices into our daily lives. She reminds us to connect more with the real humans physically present with us. She also inspires us to design for the world we want to live in.
