My notes/summary of module 7 of the course Foundations of Humane Technology

Helping people thrive

• Thriving is not something we deliver to users
• Thriving is not the absence of pain or loss
• Thriving is not an end goal

Navigating the ups and downs of life skillfully is thriving [self-compassion]

Instead of uniformly minimizing pain and maximizing pleasure, technological innovations should support people in relating to pain in ways that enable learning, resilience and personal agency.

Thriving, Pleasure, and meaning:
* Gratitude
* Creativity
* Learning

Design for deeply valuable experiences:
* self-understanding
* meaningful relationships
* creativity
