Max Strom - There is No App for Happiness: How to Avoid a Near-Life Experience (Personal growth and psychology))

Statistics show that we are far less happy than we were twenty years ago. What's changed? From email and social media to smartphones and wireless hotspots-technology has taken over nearly every aspect of our lives. It's changing how we relate to each other, and it is happening so fast that we haven't developed healthy ways to cope. Instead, we have become depressed, anxious, sleep deprived, and over-medicated. We are starving for intimacy. We have been quietly accepting the exchange of an actual life for a virtual one. Physical pain and emotional depression follow. Once ill, we turn to the pills. Yoga guru and spiritual philosopher Max Strom lays out the three simple steps to take back control of our lives:· Imperative One: Self-study · Imperative Two: Live as if your time and your lifespan were the same thing · Imperative Three: Learn a daily regime that heals and empowers you, and practice it one hour a day Learn that joy and fulfillment require us to be active participants, not passive viewers. We should not strive for a virtual life-but a life truly lived. Let's log on. There Is No App for Happiness helps us discover our internal technology capable of empowering the most meaningful areas of our lives leading us to a deeper level of happiness.
