Dr. Forbes Öste’s work is based on the premise of respect for the human capacity to thrive as a purpose driven global citizen when provided the tools to achieve greater understanding of both body and mind.

“I love technology. Even more so, I love people and helping them achieve their potential. There is enough talk about what will be and the problems that come with it. The Digital Era is here to stay, let’s learn to thrive in it. I have made it my mission to share the path to digital life balance.“
