Summary

In the realm of numbers, there lies a hidden world of patterns, symmetries, and profound connections. This book invites you on an extraordinary journey through the enigmatic realm of quantities, revealing their significance in shaping our perception of reality and understanding of the universe.

From the earliest civilizations to the modern era, numbers have played a pivotal role in human history and culture. We will delve into the captivating world of mathematics, where numbers unveil the intricate patterns and symmetries that govern the universe. We will explore the role of numbers in science and engineering, where they serve as indispensable tools for understanding the laws of nature and unlocking the secrets of the physical world.

Beyond their practical applications, numbers also hold deep cultural and historical significance. We will trace the evolution of numerology, the ancient belief in the mystical properties of numbers, and examine the profound impact of numbers on art, music, and literature. We will discover how numbers have been used to convey hidden meanings, create aesthetic beauty, and express the deepest emotions of the human soul.

Furthermore, we will venture into the realm of human cognition and explore the psychology of numbers. We will investigate how our brains process and respond to numerical information, uncovering the fascinating ways in which numbers influence our perception, decision-making, and behavior. We will also delve into the realm of numbers in the natural world, revealing the intricate patterns and sequences that permeate the flora and fauna of our planet.

From the Fibonacci sequence found in seashells and plant spirals to the golden ratio that governs the proportions of countless living organisms, we will uncover the hidden harmony and order that numbers bring to the natural world. We will also explore the role of numbers in technology, finance, and the social sciences, examining how they are used to analyze data, make predictions, and understand complex systems.

Throughout this exploration, we will marvel at the power and versatility of numbers, appreciating their ability to illuminate the mysteries of the universe and enrich our understanding of the human experience. Join us on this extraordinary odyssey, where numbers will be our guides, revealing the secrets of existence and unveiling the wonders that lie within the realm of quantity.

    Chemically Imbalanced - Everyday...

    Everyday suffering—those conditions or feelings brought on by trying circumstances that arise in everyone’s lives—is something that humans have grappled with for millennia. But the last decades have seen a drastic change in the way we approach it. In the past, a person going through a time of difficulty might keep a journal or see a therapist, but now the psychological has been replaced by the biological: instead of treating the heart, soul, and mind, we take a pill to treat the brain. 
     
    Chemically Imbalanced is a field report on how ordinary people dealing with common problems explain their suffering, how they’re increasingly turning to the thin and mechanistic language of the “body/brain,” and what these encounters might tell us. Drawing on interviews with people dealing with struggles such as underperformance in school or work, grief after the end of a relationship, or disappointment with how their life is unfolding, Joseph E. Davis reveals the profound revolution in consciousness that is underway. We now see suffering as an imbalance in the brain that needs to be fixed, usually through chemical means. This has rippled into our social and cultural conversations, and it has affected how we, as a society, imagine ourselves and envision what constitutes a good life. Davis warns that what we envision as a neurological revolution, in which suffering is a mechanistic problem, has troubling and entrapping consequences. And he makes the case that by turning away from an interpretive, meaning-making view of ourselves, we thwart our chances to enrich our souls and learn important truths about ourselves and the social conditions under which we live.

    Companies like Dropbox, Zoom, Slack, Atlassian, and DocuSign grew into multibillion-dollar companies using the three-step "Freemium" product strategy: (1) instead of hiring an expensive sales force, give away software for free; (2) let happy users tell others; (3) offer a premium subscription version, producing a recurring revenue stream. Over the last three decades, Freemium strategy has evolved into a practice known to tech industry insiders as "product-led growth." 
     
    Freemium is the authoritative guide to product-led growth, written by Silicon Valley entrepreneur and Harvard MBA Dave Boyce, who teaches the first MBA-level course on the topic. Freemium explains how to develop a product that can sell itself, how to ward off competitors, and how to seamlessly move upmarket, selling to larger customers. It details how the product itself (instead of expensive employees) can be used for customer onboarding, customer service, and customer retention. Freemium also details how non-software companies and enterprise sales-led companies are combining product-led growth tactics with more traditional go-to-market initiatives. 
     
    Competing in nearly every tech-related industry today requires an understanding of the principles of product-led growth. Freemium is the comprehensive, practical handbook for this unicorn-building strategy.
