Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apple iPhone users have been able to connect their phones to car navigation systems for years, so one may wonder what is so different about Apple CarPlay.For starters, instead of connecting to a third-party configuration CarPlay launches a display which mimics the features of the iOS user interface that we’ve become accustomed to.

Handsfree operation enhances safety and CarPlay goes as far as disabling your iPhone screen while it is connected to the system.CarPlay can be controlled using the navigation controls, touchscreen or ideally Siri, which acts as a co-pilot which can tell you what’s around you, where to go, make your calls for you, select songs and audio files to play, navigate options and apps, and send messages while you are on the go so you never have to take your eyes off the road or your hands off the wheel.

Download or read book Waking Up written by Sam Harris and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the millions of Americans who want spirituality without religion, Sam Harris’s latest New York Times bestseller is a guide to meditation as a rational practice informed by neuroscience and psychology. From Sam Harris, neuroscientist and author of numerous New York Times bestselling books, Waking Up is for the twenty percent of Americans who follow no religion but who suspect that important truths can be found in the experiences of such figures as Jesus, the Buddha, Lao Tzu, Rumi, and the other saints and sages of history. Throughout this book, Harris argues that there is more to understanding reality than science and secular culture generally allow, and that how we pay attention to the present moment largely determines the quality of our lives. Waking Up is part memoir and part exploration of the scientific underpinnings of spirituality. No other book marries contemplative wisdom and modern science in this way, and no author other than Sam Harris—a scientist, philosopher, and famous skeptic—could write it.
