        Please Slow Down: Finding Presence in a World Obsessed with Speed (simple philosophies) We are obsessed with time – with speed! Life is full of “hacks” and shortcuts and efficiencies to garner more time and do things faster. But what do we do with the time we supposedly save? Often, we spend it chasing more speed. We fill the gaps with more tasks, more scrolling, more rushing. The promise of happiness through acceleration is seductive, but it rarely delivers. This short book explores some ways we can think about slowing down. It is not a zillion pages long with complex theories and filled with words that end with ´ism´ or ´ology´. The idea was to write something simple. It is mostly a reminder! because life is so full, we often forget about these things.

    The Algorithm of Us Maya Lin believes in data—not destiny. As the lead algorithm engineer behind HeartSpark, the world’s most successful dating app, her entire job revolves around proving that love can be measured, calculated, and optimized. But after a humiliating breakup goes viral, her company’s reputation—and her confidence—take a devastating hit, leaving Maya convinced that love, at least for her, is something better solved with science than trust.

Spaces of Existence Volume Two Understanding Who We Are - Getting to Who We Want to Be

Image
          Spaces of Existence Volume Two Understanding Who We Are - Getting to Who We Want to Be By Dr. Arnold Thompson The spaces we inhabit do more than surround us—they quietly teach us who we are becoming. Spaces of Existence Volume Two: Understanding Who We Are – Getting to Who We Want to Be  opens as both map and meditation, inviting readers into a world where earth, memory, faith, suffering, choice, history, and human relationships are not separate subjects but interconnected “spaces” pressing in on the soul. Dr. Arnold Thompson frames existence as a series of influences moving from the outside in—what he calls a kind of “gravity”—asking how land, environment, culture, knowledge, pain, family, fear, hope, and belief all help form the inner self. The result is not a linear argument so much as an unfolding landscape of thought, where theology meets lived experience and personal memory expands into a much larger meditation on being human. The atmosphere...

        Spaces of Existence Volume One Understanding Life and Living It By Dr. Arnold Thompson Exploring the Universe Within: A Thought-Provoking Journey Into the Spaces That Define Us What if understanding the universe wasn’t just about telescopes and physics—but about imagination, inner awareness, and divine truth? In Spaces of Existence Vol. 1: Understanding Life and Living It, Dr. Arnold O. Thompson offers an extraordinary exploration of the physical, metaphysical, and spiritual “spaces” that shape human experience. With a foundation rooted deeply in biblical truth, this volume dares to answer age-old questions about who we are, who we’re becoming, and how we should live in a universe we barely understand. Dr. Thompson challenges modern assumptions, urging us to examine not just the world around us, but the profound, often overlooked dimensions within. Drawing from Scripture, science, and four decades of conceptual modeling, he presents a deeply theological and i...
