Deep Thriving in the Age of AI: Part 1
AI may be increasing your productivity. But is it helping you thrive across work and life?
AI can help us work faster, explore new ideas, and begin projects that once seemed out of reach. Yet it can also blur work-life boundaries, create pressure to keep up, and raise difficult questions about our skills, careers, values, and well-being.
How can I thrive in the age of AI?
What is deep thriving?
Deep thriving means that AI expands what you can do while you preserve your energy, agency, judgment, professional identity, relationships, well-being, and sense of meaning over time.
What we will explore
In this five-part live series, we will draw on research from psychology, neuroscience, human development, and workplace studies to examine the factors that support deep thriving.
The series is designed to help you understand how AI may influence your work as well as your personal growth, well-being, and sense of meaning.
