overview

Have you ever wondered if the traditional paper currency is completely outdated in today’s technological and digital age? Well, some people definitely think it is — and these people are the reason Bitcoin was created. In “Digital Gold”, “New York Times” reporter Nathaniel Popper gave a brilliant and engrossing history of Bitcoin, the landmark digital money and financial technology that has spawned a global social movement. Many people have laughed at the idea of a new currency, maintained by the computers of users around the world, but that has not stopped it from growing into a multi-billion dollar technology, supported by the hordes of followers who have come to see it as the most important new idea since the creation of the Internet.

overview

Digital technologies — devices, apps, social networks — are the best things to happen to humanity. True? Well, not true. They were created as novelties, something we were supposed to use as “tools” towards specific ends, once in a while. Like keeping up with family and friends, or making phone calls. So, how did we find ourselves in our present dilemma where they have now occupied the core of our lives, and taken away our time and our attention? Are we forever condemned to this predicament of ours or is there something we do about it? Cal Newport, in his book, “Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World,” provides us with the answers we need.

overview

What role do wealth, property, and other economic factors have to play in love? In 2008, professor Marina Adshade started a famous undergraduate course named “The Economics of Sex and Love”, and she stimulated people to take another look at online dating, marriage, and premarital sex. “Dollars and Sex” is a fun book that contains the author’s and other popular economist’s research on our romantic and sexual behaviors. Casual sex becomes a cost-benefit analysis while marriage turns into a conversation on goods and services. You will get to see statistics on how much money you aren’t making just because you are cohabiting with your lover. You will also learn the role that race and earnings have to play in mixed marriages.

Drive

The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

overview

Motivation theory would have us believe there are two main drivers of human behavior — the biological — our need to satiate our hunger, thirst and our sex desires; and rewards and punishment — our need to earn society’s rewards and avoid its punishments. In 1940, Professor of psychology Harry F. Harlow of the University of Wisconsin, conducting a study with rhesus monkeys, “stumbled upon” a third drive — intrinsic motivation; our push to do tasks for the inherent satisfaction we derive from doing them. This third drive is more valuable than the other two, but is more fragile because it requires the right environment to thrive. Daniel H. Pink, in “Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us,” elaborates on what this third drive is all about, how we had it by default at birth and lost it, how we cannot be the best we ought to be without it, and what we can do to bring it all back.
