  Wadhwa and Salkever have written a great book to help us understand our addiction to technology and suggest what we can do about it.” —Andrés Oppenheimer, columnist for the Miami Herald, joint winner of the 1987 Pulitzer Prize   Technology: your master, or your friend? Do you feel ruled by your smartphone and enslaved by your email or social-network activities? Digital technology is making us miserable, say bestselling authors and former tech executives Vivek Wadhwa and Alex Salkever. We’ve become a tribe of tech addicts—and it’s not entirely our fault.   Taking advantage of vulnerabilities in human brain function, tech companies entice us to overdose on technology interaction. This damages our lives, work, families, and friendships. Swipe-driven dating apps train us to evaluate people like products, diminishing our relationships. At work, we email on average seventy-seven times a day, ruining our concentration. At home, light from our screens is contributing to epidemic sleep deprivation.   But we can reclaim our lives without dismissing technology. The authors explain how to avoid getting hooked on tech and how to define and control the roles that tech is playing and could play in our lives. And they provide a guide to technological and personal tools for regaining control. This readable book turns personal observation into a handy action guide to adapting to our new reality of omnipresent technology.  “Technology is a great servant but a terrible master. This is the most important book ever written about one of the most significant aspects of our lives—the consequences of our addiction to online technology and how we can liberate ourselves and our children from it.” —Dean Ornish, New York Times-bestselling author of Undo It

  Troubled Water - What's Wrong...

  New York Times bestselling author Seth M. Siegel shows how our drinking water got contaminated, what it may be doing to us, and what we must do to make it safe.If you thought America's drinking water problems started and ended in Flint, Michigan, think again. From big cities and suburbs to the rural heartland, chemicals linked to cancer, heart disease, obesity, birth defects, and lowered IQ routinely spill from our taps. 
  Many are to blame: the EPA, Congress, a bipartisan coalition of powerful governors and mayors, chemical companies, and drinking water utilities — even NASA and the Pentagon. Meanwhile, the bottled water industry has been fanning our fears about tap water, but bottled water is often no safer. 
  The tragedy is that existing technologies could launch a new age of clean, healthy, and safe tap water for only a few dollars a week per person. 
  Scrupulously researched, Troubled Water is full of shocking stories about contaminated water found throughout the country and about the everyday heroes who have successfully forced changes in the quality and safety of our drinking water. And it concludes with what America must do to reverse decades of neglect and play-it-safe inaction by government at all levels in order to keep our most precious resource safe.

  Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill - Book Summary 
  About  
  Outwitting the Devil: The Secret to Freedom and Success by Napoleon Hill - Audiobook Summary • Napoleon Hill was ahead of his time when he wrote Outwitting the Devil. Considered too controversial by Hill’s family and friends, the book remained in manuscript form from its initial creation in 1938 to its publication in 2011. Why was it so controversial? Well, the book is basically written as a one-on-one ”interview” between Napoleon Hill and “the Devil.” But the “Devil” that Hill interviews isn’t a physical being… He uses the term “Devil” as a metaphor to represent a negative energy that plants seeds of doubt, fear, limitation and negative thoughts within the minds of most human beings to prevent them from living happy, successful lives. In the book, Hill asks a series of questions of the Devil about all the ways in which he tries to hold people back in life. As he asks these questions, he allows the Devil to elaborate, and in so doing, helps unravel the Devil’s underhanded tricks—revealing how you can flip them upside down and use this knowledge to your own advantage. Throughout the book, Hill explores how you can tap into the power of your mind to overcome the fears the hold you back from pursuing your dreams, take charge of your life, and outwit the Devil. 
   
  Here’s what you’ll learn about in this summary:Napoleon Hill’s personal journey through failure and success as he learns to apply the steps already laid out in his previous best-seller, Think and Grow Rich.How to identify personal obstacles (fear, procrastination, anger, and jealousy) and how the Devil uses them to keep you from success.The principles of "Good" that lead to triumph over the Devil.And much, much more...
