Digital Detox - How Gadgets Take Over Your Life

Nick Baylor

Summary

Your phone knows you better than your closest friend.
It knows when you wake up, what you read before sleep, how long you stare at other people's lives. It knows exactly which notification will make you reach for it — and it uses that knowledge 150 times a day.
You didn't plan to become dependent, but somehow scrolling became automatic. Your attention is scattered, sleep feels less restorative, and real conversations require more effort than they used to. That nagging feeling that life is passing by while you're watching a screen keeps getting harder to ignore.
This book won't tell you to throw away your devices or go completely offline. Instead, you'll discover what constant connectivity is actually doing to your brain, your relationships, and your sense of control. You'll understand why willpower alone never works against devices engineered by the smartest behavioral scientists on the planet, and you'll learn the practical, science-backed strategies that actually break the cycle.
Start reading. Your attention is worth fighting for.

Greatest Indigenous Empires in...

Editors Charles River

The Olmec people are widely recognized as the first major civilization of Mexico and are thus generally regarded as the mother civilization of Mesoamerica, making them the people from which all subsequent Mesoamerican cultures derived. In fact, the term Olmec is thought to have originated with the Aztec people, as Olmec in their Nahuatl language means “the rubber people”, a reference to the inhabitants of the land from which they accessed rubber. By and large, the Olmec culture is perhaps best identifiable by their so-called colossal heads, mammoth basalt head-statues wearing helmet-like headdresses found throughout Olmec habitation sites. 
	From the moment Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes first found and confronted them, the Aztecs have fascinated the world, and they continue to hold a unique place both culturally and in pop culture. Nearly 500 years after the Spanish conquered their mighty empire, the Aztecs are often remembered today for their major capital, Tenochtitlan, as well as being fierce conquerors of the Valley of Mexico who often engaged in human sacrifice rituals. Ironically, and unlike the Mayans, the Aztecs are not widely viewed or remembered with nuance, in part because their own leader burned extant Aztec writings and rewrote a mythologized history explaining his empire’s dominance less than a century before the Spanish arrived.  
	While scholars continue to debate whether the Toltec were an actual historical group, there is an added layer of mystery to the fact that the settlement at Tula has a lot in common with the famous Mayan settlement at Chichén Itzá. The architecture and art at both sites are so similar that archaeologists and anthropologists have assumed they had the same cultural influences, even as historians struggle to determine the historical timelines, and thus whether Tula influenced Chichén Itzá or vice versa.

Narcissists and empaths can be the most toxic combination one can ever come across. An empath is a person with a strong need to feel compassion and empathy for others, with the grandiose ability to tune into others’ emotions. This makes empaths vulnerable to the “energy vampires” that they inevitably attract, due to their natural ability to provide for others.
