Heartfelt gratitude to the innovative minds that have supported this book
My purpose was never to educate because we’ve already been taught enough; instead, the subsequent greatness of human progress is when the human mind has a better awareness of the value of life, to raise a consciousness that can see through any chaos. I am confident that after reading this book, your perspective will become more nuanced. Imagine that getting rid of digital drugs is the price you have to pay to reach the next level of success by being more human. This book is my personal invitation to become a little more humane.
