Social media is anti-reality. Way beyond simple misinformation, social media uses our most basic desires for attention and belonging, combined with social engineering, addictive gamification, and big data, to pin down our eyeballs for hours every day and assault our understanding of what is real. What’s more, at some level, I’m pretty sure everyone knows this already. Time to stop.

We’re not selling widgets, we’re selling passion. We’re not managing efficiency, we’re managing energy. We’re not wielding money, we’re wielding good will.

KIRKUS: A valuable, transformative prescription for a life of greater truth.

What we see on our screens eclipses what we know in our hearts. The labels we put on one another prevent us from building friendships across boundaries and beliefs. The metrics we use to claim progress in school or work leave little room for earnest commitment to joy and curiosity. There is a better path, one that balances Form with Essence, and leads to deeper Truth.
