Rewired: Protecting Your Brain in the Digital Age with Carl D. Marci, M.D.

We live in the digital age, where everything is always on and there are more ways to connect with people than ever before, yet we feel more disconnected than ever. Why? Social bonding is a deep need for all humans–we are wired to want to belong, to connect emotionally with individuals, and to be a part of a group. But our world today, with burgeoning social media and other digitized connections, results in a massive metamorphosis in our relationships with depressing consequences, according to Dr. Carl Marci.

Dr. Marci is a physician, scientist, entrepreneur, and author of the book, Rewired: Protecting Your Brain in the Digital Age.  He is currently the Chief Psychiatrist and Managing Director of Mental Health and Neuroscience at OM1, a health technology and data company based in Boston, MA.  He is a board-certified psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital and a part-time Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
