A revelatory exploration of how our online lives can enrich human connections rather than destroy them, to help us all stay sane on the internet

While it’s great to go outside and touch grass, the reality is that we spend most of life with our screens, whether for school, work, or socializing. Luckily, a growing body of research shows that the variety of ever-more tailored ways that the internet allows us to connect with people has actually improved our ability to name and communicate our feelings. That, in turn, expands our emotional range and benefits our mental health.

In All the Feels, tech and emotional design researcher Pamela Pavliscak reveals for the first time how being so plugged in shapes our emotions. Surprisingly, studies shows that digital detoxes have little effect on happiness. Instead, how we engage with the internet (rather than how much) profoundly shapes our lives. Even simple habits like sending emojis to our friends to signal nuance, or making a few positive digital connections every day, can meaningfully support emotional well-being. Pavliscak shows readers how we can open our phones and rather than anxiety-spiral, foster all the good feels. Media Studies Popular Culture Social Sciences Emotions Mental Health Health

Dear Listener,

How is technology and the internet affecting our well-being and sense of self?
"A lot of conversations about technology ask whether our phones and social media are ruining us. But what I found was more complicated, and more hopeful. Friendships unfold through meme exchanges and group chats. Romance hides in Spotify links and location sharing. Cozy games and videos of strangers restocking refrigerators regulate moods. Chatbots help us rehearse difficult conversations. People are actively inventing new emotional practices for living in a mixed digital/physical reality. So, I hope this listen helps you feel more alive online without disappearing from modern life altogether." –Pamela Pavliscak, author of All the Feels
