Overview

Technology is not the answer. It is also not the problem. What matters instead? Awareness, Engagement, and Wisdom.

Wisdom 2.0 addresses the challenge of our age:to not only live connected to one another through technology,but to do so in ways that are beneficial, effective, and useful.

Synopsis

From Online to Om

Reuters recently reported that Americans are willing to go longer without friends and sex than the Internet. We spend more time on our computers, BlackBerrys, cell phones, and iPods than we do with each other or with ourselves. Using these technologies becomes a compulsive action rather than a creative process, and instead of increasing our productivity, the multitasking is stressing us out!

In Wisdom 2.0, Soren Gordhamer offers sound guidance to the millions of people trying to find the right balance between using technology and staying human. Humorous and fun, Wisdom 2.0 provides effective, time-tested tools for reducing stress and nurturing creativity in a technology-saturated universe.
