  As algorithms become increasingly adept at accessing the human mind, they also become more and more powerful at controlling it, enticing us to buy a certain product or vote for a certain political candidate. Some of us say this technological trend is no big deal. Others consider it one of the greatest threats to humanity. But what if the truth is more nuanced and mind-bending than that? 
   
   
   
  In Mindmasters, Columbia Business School professor Sandra Matz reveals in fascinating detail how big data offers insights into the most intimate aspects of our psyches and how these insights empower an external influence over the choices we make. This can be creepy, manipulative, and downright harmful, with scandals like that of British consulting firm Cambridge Analytica being merely the tip of the iceberg. Yet big data also holds enormous potential to help us live healthier, happier lives—for example, by improving our mental health, encouraging better financial decisions, or enabling us to break out of our echo chambers. 
   
   
   
  With passion and clear-eyed precision, Matz shows us how to manage psychological targeting and redesign the data game.

  Skater Girl Asha tells the TRUE story of how Asha, an Untouchable, broke courageously with the traditional conventions in her village and shaped her life ever since. She escaped her arranged marriage and found her passion and purpose through skateboarding. Today, Asha is a strong voice for all the girls in her village of Janwaar – and far beyond. 
  “Before the skatepark started, I was very different. I didn’t know my own voice. I couldn’t talk to anyone. I couldn’t even make eye contact with anyone. I never made any decision on my own – only my family members would decide what is good and what is bad for me. This has changed completely when the skatepark came to my village. I’ve found my voice. It is a long and bumpy road I am on – but I take it as the challenges occur!”

  The Great Illusion

  "The Great Illusion" by Norman Angell is a thought-provoking analysis of international relations and the causes of war. First published in 1909, the book challenges the prevailing view of the time that war was a necessary and inevitable component of international politics. 
  Angell argues that the economic interdependence of nations in the modern world makes war irrational and self-defeating. He contends that war can no longer bring about the benefits it did in the past and that the cost of modern warfare would outweigh any potential gains. In this sense, he argues that the belief in the benefits of war is a "great illusion". 
  Angell's analysis is a precursor to the current debate on globalization and the interdependence of nations in the 21st century. He presents a powerful case for international cooperation, arguing that peace and prosperity can only be achieved through mutual understanding and collaboration among nations. 
  "The Great Illusion" is a seminal work in the field of international relations and a must-read for anyone interested in the causes of war and the prospects for peace in the modern world. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of diplomacy and cooperation in solving the complex problems of our time

  The Scent of Time

  Byung-Chul Han

  In his philosophical reflections on the art of lingering, acclaimed cultural theorist Byung-Chul Han argues that the value we attach today to the vita activa is producing a crisis in our sense of time. Our attachment to the vita activa creates an imperative to work which degrades the human being into a labouring animal, an animal laborans. At the same time, the hyperactivity which characterizes our daily routines robs human beings of the capacity to linger and the faculty of contemplation. It therefore becomes impossible to experience time as fulfilling. 
   
  Drawing on a range of thinkers including Heidegger, Nietzsche and Arendt, Han argues that we can overcome this temporal crisis only by revitalizing the vita contemplativa and relearning the art of lingering. For what distinguishes humans from other animals is the capacity for reflection and contemplation, and when life regains this capacity, this art of lingering, it gains in time and space, in duration and vastness. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Peter Noble, with audio engineering by Sam Platt. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
