Sinopse

"Technology Shift" explores the profound impact of technological progress on human civilization, tracing the journey from pre-industrial societies to the digital age and beyond. This captivating book examines how innovations have continually reshaped our world, focusing on three key periods: the industrial revolution, the digital age, and the future of human-technology interaction.

 
The book's central argument posits that technological advancement is not a series of isolated inventions but a continuous force that fundamentally alters human behavior, social structures, and global dynamics. By examining pivotal moments in history, such as the rise of mechanization and the internet revolution, "Technology Shift" illuminates how technology has transformed economies, urbanization, and communication.

 
The author employs a balanced approach, acknowledging both the benefits and challenges of technological progress, while avoiding simplistic narratives of technological determinism. Structured in three main sections, the book progresses from the industrial revolution through the digital age, concluding with speculations on future technological trends.

 
It draws upon historical records, economic data, and sociological studies to support its arguments, making complex concepts accessible through clear explanations and real-world examples. This comprehensive exploration of technology's role in shaping human civilization offers valuable insights for anyone seeking to understand the forces molding our world and make informed decisions about our technological future.

    How to Have Willpower brings together two profound ancient meditations on how to overcome pressures that encourage us to act against our own best interests—Plutarch's essay On Dysopia or How to Resist Pressure and Prudentius's poetic allegory Psychomachia or How to Slay Your Demons. Challenging the idea that humans are helpless victims of vice, these works—introduced and presented in vivid, accessible new prose translations by Michael Fontaine—emphasize the power of personal choice and the possibility of personal growth, as they offer insights and practical advice about resisting temptation. 
     
     
     
    In the spirit of the best ancient self-help writing, Plutarch, a pagan Greek philosopher and historian, offers a set of practical recommendations and steps we can take to resist pressure and to stop saying "yes" against our better judgment. And in a delightfully different work, Prudentius, a Latin Christian poet, dramatizes the necessity to actively fight temptation through the story of an epic battle within the human soul between fierce warrior women representing our virtues and vices. 
     
     
     
    Plutarch and Prudentius insist that we allow pressure or temptations to get the best of us. But they also agree that we can do something about it. And their wisdom can help.

    For decades, we believed that someone with a high IQ was guaranteed success, but we’ve seen this theory fail time and time again. We see the average student in school, the one without any special talents, catapult himself to the heights of success while the promising straight-A student flounders as soon as he leaves the rigors of school life. We’ve seen charismatic people fly to heights of stardom while the smart ones look like they’re circling the drain for the last time and needing someone to rescue them. 
    Scientists have now realized that the path to success based on intellectual intelligence is only half of the equation. There is another form of intelligence that has only been recognized in the last few decades: our emotional intelligence. In this book, we’re going to discuss exactly what emotional intelligence is and how we can train it to make us more effective communicators, build up positive and rewarding relationships, and how to identify our innermost emotions; especially the ones that are triggering those self-sabotaging behaviors that are keeping us from our goals. 
    This audiobook consists of 8 chapters. 
    Chapter 1: What is Emotional Intelligence? 
    Chapter 2: Signs of Lower EI 
    Chapter 3: Signs of Higher EI

    What’s considered the worst crime and who’s the most hated person in America? Most would say child sexual abuse and the pedophile. The principle’s everywhere. How do we normally deal with it? To put it poetically: to go over Thor’s face in the United States and overlook God, the truth of the matter, repeat the vampire. Tonight on Television, a book of poetry, goes to the heart of the matter, the creation of the pedophile and proposes stopping the process where it starts, which is in the caring for of infants and toddlers. It employs the ideal of oneness, non-duality, instead of the formula of crime and punishment, in dealing with that, how it addresses the whole issue, paying particular attention to the hatred of the pedophile and the damage that does to society, which is not only the proliferation of child sex abuse, which, it must be said, the poem aims to stop. I’m the fellow, aren’t I? I’ve spent many years studying the issue, first in university, where, after getting a BA in English and minor in History (University of Houston, 1988), I spent three and a half years learning Classical Greek, translating Greek poetry into English verse, not only to learn the writing of poetry, but to access knowledge on ancient Greek sexuality in particular and on the formation of the human ego and sexual orientation in general, doing a self-study on the latter two by reading extensively in a variety of pertinent subjects. Then I did an unorthodox fieldwork for several years after Ieaving college in 1993, becoming a vagabond first in the United States and then the world, spending 10 years living in over 27 countries on 4 continents, during which time I paid particular attention to what when down in the families I lived with, as, being an adventure traveler, I usually lived and worked with the local population. You don't believe an autodidact can be an expert? Hey, I’m not just the One, whom everybody is; I’m the one to show you the world.
