Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. 
 
Original book introduction:  Lanier's reasons for freeing ourselves from social media's poisonous grip include its tendency to bring out the worst in us, to make politics terrifying, to trick us with illusions of popularity and success, to twist our relationship with the truth, to disconnect us from other people even as we are more "connected" than ever, to rob us of our free will with relentless targeted ads. How can we remain autonomous in a world where we are under continual surveillance and are constantly being prodded by algorithms run by some of the richest corporations in history that have no way of making money other than being paid to manipulate our behavior? How could the benefits of social media possibly outweigh the catastrophic losses to our personal dignity, happiness, and freedom? Lanier remains a tech optimist, so while demonstrating the evil that rules social media business models today, he also envisions a humanistic setting for social networking that can direct us toward a richer and fuller way of living and connecting with our world.

    A guided meditation designed to help you build YOUR life on YOUR terms. The secret to taking control of your life doesn’t come from overpowering people or by suddenly becoming aggressive. In fact, the key to taking control of your life is not a physical game at all.It is a MIND game.Want control over you life? You’ll need to shift your mindset.In this guided meditation, instead of experiencing perpetual stress and letting your life be run by others - you will, from the moment you begin listening, begin building your life on your terms. Building a life you are proud of. Building a life you are excited to wake up to everyday. Take Control of Your Life has been designed carefully to erase the negative thoughts that block you from taking control over your life so that you can live YOUR life, YOUR way.This guided meditation comes with two valuable ‘extras’:1.	2 different endings. Besides the actual guided meditation itself, you will receive a choice of a ‘sleep’ or ‘wake’ ending depending on whether you are listening in the morning or evening.2.	A deep sleep music track. If you choose a sleep ending, this track will help deepen your sleep after you have completed your meditation session. Hi:) I’m Amy Applebaum. And I’m really glad you are here!As a business owner who has made millions and a Life Success coach who has coached dozens of ambitious women (and some men), I believe very strongly that success is just as much about ‘how you think’ as it is ‘what you do’.Success is first and foremost an Inside Job.I have seen it in my own life.I’ve seen it with the entrepreneurs and industry leaders I have worked with whose lives have been wildly transformed just by changing their thoughts and then taking actions on those new beliefs.Let’s face it. We have a lot on our plate. And those of us who are running our own businesses even more so.We are giving so much to the world around us.But things won’t shift until we get those birds on our shoulders to stop the negative chitchat.And the best fastest way to cut the self-doubt in its tracks is through meditation.And I make doing meditation dead easy.My MOVE collections are guided meditations.You don’t have to learn the ‘ins and outs ’of meditation. All you need to do is throw those earbuds in and drift off to sleep!Downloaded over 500,000 times on places like iTunes and Audible, my MOVE meditations don’t just ‘relax’ and distress, they are specifically designed to help you get MOVING and unstuck.So that you can finally live the life you have always wanted!“This is truly amazing I feel so relaxed confident and in charge of my own life.  Thank you for this amazing piece of work.” ~ Colinwest15Isn’t it time? Isn’t it time to set aside the roadblocks that are impeding you from living life on your terms?And it’s so easy.Just put the earbuds in and listen.Nothing simpler.All you need to do to open the door to “life on my terms” living, the EASY way,is waiting for you here.
