Description

What if your calendar could predict your mental health?

Meet Chris Dancy – once dubbed “The World’s Most Connected Human” – who didn’t just track his steps and calories. He tracked his soul. From mood mapping and ambient data to organizing his apps by values instead of function, Chris built a system to actually understand himself.

But here’s the twist: it’s not about more data. It’s about better data.

🧠 He mapped every app to Maslow’s hierarchy.
💡 He hacked his phone to create “cyber mindfulness.”
📉 He even engineered synchronicities by journaling meaningful coincidences.

And no, it’s not a Silicon Valley stunt. It's spiritual, emotional, and deeply human.
