The Eudaemonia Machine
The workplace has a well-earned reputation for being a hive of distraction and stress. It doesn’t have to be this way. What would our employee experience be like if we rethought it from the standpoint of eudaemonia, the ancient Greek concept of deep personal flourishing? This isn’t utopian thinking anymore. In this session, David shares what eudaimonia is and how humans go about getting it, providing a clear understanding of the difference between “functional” vs “performative” space and exploring how cognition and computation intersect with physical space to make this possible.
