Synopsis

This book contains two titles. Here are some snippets of what you can find in there:
Book 1 - In today’s world, our perception fundamentally shapes our reality. This explains why two people can have entirely different interpretations of the same event. The meaning we assign to events stems from our beliefs and emotions. So, can altering our perception actually change our world? If so, how can this be achieved? And if it's possible, how can we mold our reality to create a better one?What we see defines what we believe, and what we believe dictates what we consider true. Our sense of truth then becomes our reality. Thus, our perception molds our reality. Although we share the same world, we each focus on our own perceived truths. Even though everyone has eyes, each person views the world in a unique way. It’s easy to find what we’re looking for, but harder to notice what we’re not searching for. For example, one person might see a glass as half-full while another sees it as half-empty.
Book 2 - Gender does influence persuasion, largely due to the emotional and intellectual differences between men and women. It is often believed that the direct, straightforward approach typically associated with men is more effective in persuasion than the emotionally nuanced methods often attributed to women.One of the key differences between men and women is that men are primarily visually stimulated. This trait, while sometimes criticized as shallow, is rooted in our DNA and evolution. Historically, men were driven to seek healthy partners for reproduction, as visual cues were the primary way to assess health before the advent of modern medicine. In the days of early human society, a woman of child-bearing age who appeared healthy was naturally attractive to men, as it signaled good prospects for offspring.

This is a very enjoyable book about social media and influencers who can change people's opinions on many things, including clothes, food, lifestyle, politics etc. If the power of influencing influencers gets in bad hands, the world can change at their wish. The plot is very actual for the world rule......more

Daniel has done it again! I was mesmerized by this book with all the glamour of social media and it’s promises; but Daniel showed a side of social media that doesn’t exist (or to the literal extent like it did in this novel) and I just had to keep reading to see what was in store for Sebastian’s tea......more

Did you ever wonder what it would be like to have the ability to shape the world's opinion on everything from what to wear and how to wear it to what to do, where to go, what to eat, and everything inbetween? In today's media world there are those who do just that. They are called "Influencers". Dan......more
