"Life Hacks" Son Una Ilusión: Por qué Desear Todo Rápido es Peligroso

Information is drowning us, and distraction has become the habitual  state of mind in the modern world. Still, decluttering our minds through  deep reading and solitude; are notions that seem not to be that  significant in contemporary Western culture. However, research has shown  that fast-paced societies have a higher incidence of psychological  distress. Nearly 40,000 people in the United States alone experience an  anxiety disorder. That is, an entire city could be populated only by  anxious people; The City of Anxiety.  There are, therefore, many reasons to reconsider why we must slow down  and reflect on modern stressful lifestyles. However, most young adults  appear to agree that “the way” to live a meaningful life is by “hacking”  life itself. As we can all attest, online-videos platforms are abundant  with content such as:      ✓‘How to learn to play the guitar like a pro in one week.’    ✓‘How to be a millionaire and retire at age 32.’   ✓‘How to “read” a book in a single day.’   ✓‘How to lose weight without exercise using a “magical” diet.’   Everything is speeding up, and the culprit appears to be; technology.”   In an age when it is ‘unfashionable’ to sit down to closely read a  physical book; The Shortcut Generation is a reminder of the usefulness  of refreshing and sharping our awareness by reading short but meaningful  ideas. When we expand our perception by brief ‘doses’ of deep reading  it also allows us to appreciate simple but meaningful moments that we  habitually take for granted in the fast-paced-society.     The ideas presented in this short book are based on interdisciplinary  authors—from stoics philosophers such as Seneca to the theoretical  physicist Albert Einstein.  We are the creators of our moments which  eventually determine our human conditions, but is not until we take a  breath and look inward; face our mortality; observe nature; that we  begin to create those moments.Don’t let those moments begin too late in  life.   You can buy this book on Amazon.com  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SBHDMTH/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=The+Shortcut+Generation+and+the+city+of+anxiety&qid=1610051126&sr=8-1
