WTF is Design for Connection?

Have you ever wondered... what in the world do we mean when we talk about design for connection?

That is the question the wonderful people of See Change Sessions asked recently as we sat around a warm stage surrounded by interesting people from across the globe, coming together for one week in Burlington, VT.

?? Check our my video, WTF is Design for Connection? And please share with others! ??

As fall begins and I enjoy sipping on too much pumpkin-spiced coffee (with cardamom - must try!). I've been wrapping up final podcasts I'm looking at sharing with you all in the new year, celebrating the release of our new book Peace by Design!

Perhaps my favorite part of focusing on uplifting and connecting people through design, is all the amazing successes of the fabulous people I am fortunate enough to call friends, and people I want to share with you! So let's celebrate:

• ?? Building H has released their new Building H Index - ranking popular products (many I use, and probably you too) on how they affect the health of their users.
• ?? Kasley Killam, MPH has an amazing interview for her new book on Dan Harris 's wonderful 10% Happier Podcast.
• ?Our FxD - Flourishing by Design group, led by Jenna Mikus, PhD just had our third meeting, and so much goodness for anyone interested in designing for happiness, here is a link to join if you like!
• ?? Diana Lind continues to knock my socks off with her wonderful Substack, The New Urban Order, about cities, housing, and climate.
• ?? Looking forward to what promises to be an amazing event with HKS, Inc. + CADRE + Center for BrainHealth ! Cannot wait to report back. Thanks Upali Nanda, PhD , Julie Hiromoto, FAIA , Sandra Bond Chapman PhD , Jennifer Zientz , Harris Eyre , and all of the fabulous people making this possible!

What else should I know about? I would love to hear what is keeping you all interested these days!
