Digital Tools and Well-Being (Coursera)

Digital Tools and Well-Being (Coursera)

Well-being matters in every part of life: your physical health, mental health and even your relationships. With every new digital tool that comes into your life, that relationship with your own health can change — for better or worse. You might be distancing yourself from others if you get too addicted to using your device. Or, you might be using these devices to improve your professional life. The difference lies in knowing what well-being means, and what digital tools do to change your way of life.
