Isabella Wang - The Digital Mind of Tomorrow

Acknowledgments

It was a no-brainer to relocate the acknowledgments section to the top of the book, as the rest of the book would not exist without the support of the following people.

My paternal grandfather passed away nine years ago, and my paternal grandmother left us last year. While they are no longer physically present with me, they continue to inspire me spiritually every day.

I couldn't have done anything close to what I've achieved so far if I hadn't had the full backing of my beloved father and mother. Their love, open-mindedness, and refreshing perspectives gently and firmly fuel my journey of discovery.

I would like to extend my profound appreciation to Martha for being my safe haven and a true testimony to God's grace.

Thank you, Manuel Vexler, for never allowing me to be anything other than myself. I'd probably still be stuck on my original mindmap if it hadn't been for your countless hours of mentoring.

Mike Pavlov and the rest of the Creative House team helped a lot with building this project from the ground up. This included creative design, website development, and a marketing strategy for both before and after the book came out.

Helena Escalante was the first person to get on a call with me when I decided to write a book and offered everything she could to help me get started.

Tremendous gratitude to the following amazing people who believed in this book and gave their time, knowledge, and resources to help with the different topics it covers. A partial list includes:

Dr. Rauf Arif, Bjrn Radde, Rodney W. Zemmel, Tom Raftery, Carlos Melndez, Enrique Dans, Jeffrey Litvack, Patrick Bensen, Susan Mcpherson, Mathia Klenk, Tony Zambito, Jeff Wang, Arun Sundararajan, Rob Master, David Birch, Olesija Saue, Danila Medvedev, Preeti Adhikary, Eric Simone, Michael Krigsman, Leonard Lee, Caroline Lair, Michael Noel, Jon Parks, Jay Abbasi, Frank Mattes, Maja Lapcevic, Phil Johnson, Drew Neisser, Aman Y. Agarwal, Ron Slee.

Thanks to Lily and Emily, who put up with my amateur writing manuscripts and provided valuable editorial advice.

Thank you to my beta readers for helping make my book better and for believing in it.

In fact, I'd like to thank everyone and everything that has led up to this moment, because the present is a reflection of past experiences formed by past thoughts.

Every moment of our lives deserves recognition and appreciation from the bottom of our hearts as well as for the future, and it takes a significant level of effort to preserve that.

Finally, I'd like to thank YOU for coming along on this adventure with me. Please read on.

CONTENTS

Preface

T he journey of authoring this book has been soul-stirring. I lived with my paternal grandparents until I was nine years old, and they will always be my closest family members. My grandmother passed away when I was halfway through writing this book. The devastating occurrence significantly changed my perspective on what I genuinely want to share. So I decided to revamp the whole book completely.

Youre reading this book because you feel reckless in the chaos of todays digital realm. But you want to do something to change the world. You appreciate thinking about the future and meeting individuals who share your beliefs. You are an idealist who seeks the spiritual significance and purpose of all actions rather than the physical effects of reality. Reality is nothing more than the expression of a well-thought-out notion. You want to not only find a future role for yourself but also fill it by making a substantial difference. There is no framework or template for the type of success mentioned above. Dont believe someone or a book if youve been instructed to. There are, however, materials available to help you create your own map. Use this book as a step forward to find your hunches and connections as you consider the next inspiration that will propel you to serve humanity as a force of nature.

The Digital Mind of Tomorrow is a new way of thinking that is both a paradigm for technological and social progress and a philosophical question about How to remain a human being and What type of person should one be? This daring, forward-thinking mindset prefers to act rather than wait, leading to greater success than following. By maximizing the roles of each of us, we function effectively as a collective.

After reading this book, you may reconsider (upgrade) your relationship with digital technologies. And then take some action! What distinguishes you as a human being? The possibilities inspire you, and your future dreams empower others. You have a strong sense of the future. You are a visionary leader. Others can not foretell your future. But youll need the help of those who share your vision to make it a reality. As an extension of the concepts in this book, this book provides you with a group of like-minded peers who share your passion.

What exactly is this new way of thinking? You wont have to travel far to find an answer on Earth. Just observe how our virtual lives have evolved with technological advancements ranging from self-flying drones to genetic engineering. We dont lack ideas; we just need some guidance to point us away from materialistic pursuits and towards the true value of life.

My purpose was never to educate because weve already been taught enough; instead, the subsequent greatness of human progress is when the human mind has a better awareness of the value of life, to raise a consciousness that can see through any chaos. I am confident that after reading this book, your perspective will become more nuanced. Imagine that getting rid of digital drugs is the price you have to pay to reach the next level of success by being more human. This book is my personal invitation to become a little more humane.

The world is now at a standstill due to the absence of trust and a lack of purpose. This is a perfect time to ask questions, examine old values versus new possibilities, and consider what humanitys role will be in the world we are creating.

We are passively evolving into something new; thus, humankind feels trapped since we cannot comprehend and produce results that exceed our current level of consciousness. Society is longing for the next social tissue that would bind us all together once more. Modern thought and belief have been flawed and powerless since the Enlightenment regarding a future where technology reigns supreme. Consciousness is humanitys last beacon of hope and the only resource for finding a way out . The only way to deal with the invasion of digital reality is to restore emotional harmony. When we have a clear vision for our lives, the ability to bounce back from setbacks, and superior, intuitive knowledge that cant be matched by AI, we can think more boldly and make a bigger difference in the world. We can also overcome fears and anxiety by cultivating emotional abundance. Then we can find our passion and live a spiritually fulfilling life.
