Prototype cover for my new book: Survive, Replicate, Empower
My new book, Survive, Replicate, Empower: The Science of Humanity’s Improvement, will quickly become my flagship material in the near future. The book primarily focuses on why we exist, what we’re here to do, and how we go about doing it. It is driven by a new body of work I have started known as Long Term Survival Theory, a systematic way of studying what will allow humanity to prevail versus fail in the coming decades, centuries, millennia, and beyond.
In the same spirit as such thinkers as Ray Kurzweil (author of The Singularity is Near) as well as some of the best philosophers of our time, I will attempt to explain much of human motivation (and how to obtain motivation itself). Using evolutionary theory, behavioral science fields such as neurology, psychology, sociology, and the revolutionary new science of social network analysis, I hope to illustrate a vast picture of who we are as human beings and what our place is in the universe.
More importantly, this is a book about personal development, in the end, and it will challenge each and every reader to step up to the plate of taking control of various aspects of their lives through rational action in the areas of emotional intelligence, nutrition and exercise, problem solving strategies, techniques for finance, time management, relationships and social skills, and much, much more. This text intends to break down everyone’s development into its core foundations, enabling them to build a ‘modular’ system for their own improvement from the ground up by guiding them in the proper direction through a hierarchy of priorities they can focus on with concrete confidence.
Right away, I throw out some useless beliefs and philosophies for viewing the world through. I dare to explain why pop culture phenomena like the Law of Attraction (as described in the film and books The Secret) is practically useless in comparison to systematically figuring out rational solutions from empirical evidence, why even the universities are lying about what is healthy for people to eat and how to exercise, why the public education system in the United States and even across the globe is broken, and many other issues.
In their place, various other solutions are examined and the reader is introduced to various tools for use in setting up their modular system for their own self management and growth. ‘Mental Technologies,’ sometimes overlooked in their importance by both the academic community and the popular press will be described in detail, as well as their benefits, such as lucid dreaming, cognitive-behavioral therapy, PhotoReading, and even something as simple as the scientific method with its application toward your real life goals and difficulties.
I hope everyone will be ready to take the leap.
