373. ​​The Art of Routine with Dr. Angel Iscovich

The Daily Helping

From his time as a psychiatrist and emergency physician, to his experience in corporate healthcare C-suites, Dr. Angel Iscovich’s wealth of knowledge about the human condition has led him to an important finding: Humans thrive with routine.

Dr. Iscovich, or “Dr. I” is our guest on the program today and author of “The Art of Routine.” He explains that routines are found throughout human physiology: Circadian rhythms, postprandial tides, the gastro-colic reflex, etc. He points out that the power of routine also appears in longevity studies and in cultures across the globe.

Dr. Iscovich then brings us to our daily lives today, especially around technology. He warns that technological innovations shouldn’t just disrupt industries, but strengthen routine-making for users. Rather than increase distractions, technology should be designed to help us stay focused on healthy routines.

If you’re looking for one man’s incredible life story and incisive insights into human nature, look no further. Dr. Angel Iscovich brings all that and more in today’s episode.
