Tactical Disconnection

In a world where technology promises endless progress, Tactical Disconnection reveals an overlooked truth: constant connectivity is not synonymous with true success. Tyler Rice, cofounder and CEO of the Digital Wellness Institute, challenges the myth that more digital engagement leads to better outcomes, introducing readers to a powerful, research-backed framework for reclaiming balance, focus, and well-being.

Core Themes and Principles:

Rice dissects the cultural assumptions that have equated non-stop responsiveness with productivity—and shows how they are damaging individuals and organizations alike.

⚡ The Tactical Disconnection Framework

Through the principles of Perception, Intention, and Action, readers learn how to recognize the dangers of overuse, strategically disconnect when necessary, and build healthier relationships with technology.

⚡ Flourishing in a Hyperconnected World

Rather than advocating digital minimalism, Rice introduces the "Goldilocks Zone"—the optimal point where technology enhances rather than depletes productivity, creativity, and well-being.
