Book excerpt: “An important reminder of simple everyday practices to improve how we all work together, which will lead to greater team and individual happiness and performance. Great results will follow.”—Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter and Square “With just 30 changes, you can transform your work experience from bland and boring (or worse) to fulfilling, fun, and even joyful.”—Daniel Pink, author of When and Drive The vice president of Twitter Europe and host of the top business podcast Eat Sleep Work Repeat offers thirty smart, research-based hacks for bringing joy and fun back into our burned out, uninspired work lives. How does a lunch break spark a burst of productivity? Can a team’s performance be improved simply by moving the location of the coffee maker? Why are meetings so often a waste of time, and how can a walking meeting actually get decisions made? As an executive with decades of management experience at top Silicon Valley companies including YouTube, Google, and Twitter, Bruce Daisley has given a lot of thought to what makes a workforce productive and what factors can improve the workplace to benefit a company’s employees, customers, and bottom line. In his debut book, he shares what he’s discovered, offering practical, often counterintuitive, insights and solutions for reinvigorating work to give us more meaning, productivity, and joy at the office. A Gallup survey of global workers revealed shocking news: only 13% of employees are engaged in their jobs. This means that burn out and unhappiness at work are a reality for the vast majority of workers. Managers—and employees themselves—can make work better. Eat Sleep Work Repeat shows them how, offering more than two dozen research-backed, user-friendly strategies, including: Go to Lunch (it makes you less tired over the weekend) Suggest a Tea Break (it increases team cohesiveness and productivity) Conduct a Pre-Mortem (foreseeing possible issues can prevent problems and creates a spirit of curiosity and inquisitiveness) “Let’s start enjoying our jobs again,” Daisley insists. “It’s time to rediscover the joy of work.”

Download or read book Ghost in the Machine written by Marcus Whitnell and published by Angry Android. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A neural chip capable of digitising the human consciousness? Technological immortality? Of course governments and big business will kill for that! If you're a fan of original cyberpunk and loved the books of William Gibson, Walter Jon Williams, Philip K Dick and Rudy Rucker. Or if you're into modern variations by authors like Blake Crouch, Neal Asher and Daniel Suarez — this tense, action-packed technothriller IS FOR YOU! Set in a worryingly foreseeable near-future where the gap between rich and poor continues to grow and big business has de facto control over much of the planet, not everything is as it seems after China attempts to steal the prototype of a groundbreaking neural implant. Humanity and technology are on a collision course, and as killers and thieves chase wetware engineer, Eric Thorne, through both physical and digital realities, the greed and ambition of two men will change the world forever. Ghost in the Machine is the first in a series of books that follow humanity from a broadly recognisable present into a bleak, yet disturbingly predictable, future. Presented as techno-thrillers through a cyber/biopunk lens, each book in 'The Sum of our Parts' chronicles the convergence of, and inevitable conflict arising from, inherent human characteristics with a rapidly growing pandora's box of technology — exploring how ever-present issues like poverty, greed and control mix with and react to new ones such as transhumanism, the rights of sentient, autonomous entities, and the consequences of digital immortality. ***What other readers are saying*** Technothriller / Tech Noir / Cyberpunk ... Fabulous Set in a near future I think we can all see coming, where huge corporations control everything we see (and therefore believe), and government is little more than a thin veneer covering individual ambitions and dynasties - this book does a masterful job of painting a picture of what happens when someone says 'No.' But there's much, much more to the stories woven into the pages than that: an android reaching autonomy, a washed up intelligence operative reaching the end of his tether, the morality of technological enhancement, transhumanism ... the list goes on, and the author does a brilliant job of drawing them all together in a rather satisfying finale!” Couldn't put it down!!! Really great plot, couldn't stop reading, plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing followed up by a superb ending which did not disappoint. What a cracking good read Ghost in the Machine is a brutally close approximation to where many of us feel society is currently heading: corporate fatcats dictating what we see and don't see, government a sad reflection of democracy - and a world changing to fast, and all for the worse.

Download or read book God S Illusion Machine written by Mäyeçvara däsa and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-12-30 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tidal wave of intellectual argument that followed the 2006 release of Richard Dawkinss God Delusion book, a fierce debate has raged between atheism and religion over the existence of God, leaving the worlds scientists and laymen largely undecided in their opinion. Gods Illusion Machine presents a fascinating alternative to a debate that has largely been argued within the framework of Christian versus science concepts. Drawing upon the worlds oldest body of knowledge (the Vedas), the author describes the massive illusion to which we are all subjected as we mistakenly believe ourselves to be physical creations of the material world. In Gods Illusion Machine, the material world is gradually exposed as the ultimate virtual reality machine for wayward souls who prefer a self-centred, rather than a God-centred, existence. In contrast to Richard Dawkinss assertion that the religious are suffering a delusion for believing in God, the author argues that both the atheists and the religious are under the spell of Gods deluding energy called My, which acts in reciprocation with a souls desire to be in illusion within the physical realm. By applying the profound spiritual insights of Vedic knowledge along with a healthy dose of common sense and good humour, Gods Illusion Machine is an enthralling expos of the deceptive nature of the material world and the false claims of materialists regarding the nature of life and love. It is a triumph of spirituality over both atheistic materialism and religious dogmatism. Gods Illusion Machine is a work of major importance realigning Western religion, philosophy, and science with eternal spiritual truths, an enlightening read for both the atheist and the religious, bringing spiritual certainty and true love to bewildered souls in troubled times. For atheists who like a good argument, for the religious who are stuck for a reply to Richard Dawkins, for fans of fantasy and sci-fi where forces of light and illusion contend in battle, and for you, the reader, whatever your disposition, this book will forever change your outlook on life and its meaning. As the rising sun disperses the darkness of night, so in the presence of Krishna (The Absolute Truth), my (illusion) cannot stand.

Download or read book Machine Landscapes written by Liam Young and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most significant architectural spaces in the world are now entirely empty of people. The data centres, telecommunications networks, distribution warehouses, unmanned ports and industrialised agriculture that define the very nature of who we are today are at the same time places we can never visit. Instead they are occupied by server stacks and hard drives, logistics bots and mobile shelving units, autonomous cranes and container ships, robot vacuum cleaners and internet-connected toasters, driverless tractors and taxis. This issue is an atlas of sites, architectures and infrastructures that are not built for us, but whose form, materiality and purpose is configured to anticipate the patterns of machine vision and habitation rather than our own. We are said to be living in a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene, in which humans are the dominant force shaping the planet. This collection of spaces, however, more accurately constitutes an era of the Post-Anthropocene, a period where it is technology and artificial intelligence that now computes, conditions and constructs our world. Marking the end of human-centred design, the issue turns its attention to the new typologies of the post-human, architecture without people and our endless expanse of Machine Landscapes.

Download or read book Infinite Jest written by David Foster Wallace and published by Back Bay Books. This book was released on 2009-04-13 with total page 1451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gargantuan, mind-altering comedy about the Pursuit of Happiness in America Set in an addicts' halfway house and a tennis academy, and featuring the most endearingly screwed-up family to come along in recent fiction, Infinite Jest explores essential questions about what entertainment is and why it has come to so dominate our lives; about how our desire for entertainment affects our need to connect with other people; and about what the pleasures we choose say about who we are. Equal parts philosophical quest and screwball comedy, Infinite Jest bends every rule of fiction without sacrificing for a moment its own entertainment value. It is an exuberant, uniquely American exploration of the passions that make us human — and one of those rare books that renew the idea of what a novel can do. With a foreword by Tom Bisell. "The next step in fiction...Edgy, accurate, and darkly witty...Think Beckett, think Pynchon, think Gaddis. Think." —Sven Birkerts, The Atlantic

Download or read book The Social Machine written by Judith Donath and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2014-05-23 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New ways to design spaces for online interaction—and how they will change society. Computers were first conceived as “thinking machines,” but in the twenty-first century they have become social machines, online places where people meet friends, play games, and collaborate on projects. In this book, Judith Donath argues persuasively that for social media to become truly sociable media, we must design interfaces that reflect how we understand and respond to the social world. People and their actions are still harder to perceive online than face to face: interfaces are clunky, and we have less sense of other people's character and intentions, where they congregate, and what they do. Donath presents new approaches to creating interfaces for social interaction. She addresses such topics as visualizing social landscapes, conversations, and networks; depicting identity with knowledge markers and interaction history; delineating public and private space; and bringing the online world's open sociability into the physical world. Donath asks fundamental questions about how we want to live online and offers thought-provoking designs that explore radically new ways of interacting and communicating.
