Summary

Having traded face-to-face contact for the rush of online communication, technology speaks to, but never quite fulfills, a profound need for connection-in ways that are addictive, but not ultimately satisfying. This title brings the wisdom of Eastern meditative practice to calm the frantic anxiety produced by our Western high-speed technoculture.

Wisdom 2.0 Summary

Wisdom 2.0: The New Movement Toward Purposeful Engagement in Business and in Life by Soren Gordhamer

This title offers user-friendly guidance for the millions of people attempting to strike the right balance with computers, mobile phones, blackberrys and ipods. Having traded face-to-face contact for the rush of online communication, technology speaks to, but never quite fulfills, a profound need for connection-in ways that are addictive, but not ultimately satisfying. Worse, utilising such technologies becomes a compulsive action, rather than a creative process-and the resultant stress is likely to impede the very multi-tasking and efficiency that the technology was meant to inspire. Gordhamer brings the wisdom of Eastern meditative practice to calm the frantic anxiety produced by our Western high-speed technoculture.
