@jb55 There are some good books about those topics that don’t involve getting people addicted.

- Things that make us smart


In terms of designing for calmness, it brings to mind this concept developed at Xerox PARC called “calm technology”: https://people.csail.mit.edu/rudolph/Teaching/weiser.pdf
