  Make Dating Your Health: The Blood, The Cells, The Oxygen - the essence of this message would resonate deeply.

You might say that just as people go to great lengths to protect their loved ones or secure their homes, they must also fight to maintain their relationship with oxygen.

  Ever opened a tab and forgotten why? 
  Mid-scroll, mid-thought… and poof—it’s gone? 
  No, it’s not just you. And no, it’s not early-onset anything, 
  You’ve simply been Forgotten. By. Design. 
  In Forgotten by Design: The Silent Epidemic of Digital Dementia, tech meets soul in this genre-bending, mind-bending manifesto on how your memory, focus, and very sense of time are being subtly stolen—and sold back to you. 
  This isn’t another “digital detox” guilt trip. 
  This is a call to remember who you were before 
  the algorithm got your number. 
  ◆ Neuroscience meets Vedic rituals. 
  ◆ Ancient myths collide with dopamine loops. 
  ◆ Real-life stories, surreal insights, and soul-searching questions. 
  Meet the yogi hidden in your nervous system, 
  Decode the ghost data shaping your identity. 
  And answer the only question that matters now: 
  If your mind’s been outsourced to machines… 
  what’s left of you? 
  This is not self-help. This is self-awakening. 
  (Warning: Once remembered, you can’t go back.) 
  ABOUT THE AUTHOR 
  Hardik Goel has spent over a decade wrangling data by day and words by caffeine-fueled night. By trade, he’s a data engineer and scientist, by temperament. a writer, editor, and part-time overthinker with an eye for patterns—whether in code, conversation, or comic coincidence. 
  This book is what happens when spreadsheets meet Sanskrit, and logic makes a late-night deal with mythology.

  In today’s world, the majority of asset-intensive organizations are still stuck with complex, rigid, and sometimes antiquated technology solutions that simply cannot step up to evolving challenges and an ever-changing market. Why do the world’s most important industries—ones that billions of people rely on for essential human needs—operate with approaches that run the risk of making them extremely inefficient and brittle? 
  What if it didn’t have to be that way? 
  Imagine a world where companies can move successfully into the future, where these brittle solutions are replaced with a flexible, simple approach that also delivers enterprise-grade capabilities. This book introduces asset operations management (AOM), an operating principle founded on the belief that asset-intensive organizations have much to gain by adopting new approaches to data, collaboration, and communication—all supported by modern, consumer-grade technology experiences. 
  The best-of-breed organizations in asset-intensive industries have been changing the way their businesses run for years, and they’re reaping the rewards. The rest of the pack is struggling to keep up in the new paradigm—one where asset operations is central to operating efficiency and organizational resilience.
