Artificial Intelligence Revolution our Lives

Artificial Intelligence Revolution our Lives

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, has expressed:“Artificial intelligence is perhaps the most important thing humanity has ever worked on. I think it's more profound than electricity or fire.”On the other hand, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, stated:"Artificial Intelligence represents the greatest threat to the existence of humanity."What exactly is this digital modality that is invading all fields of human activity and generating such disparate opinions from the most informed experts? Some opinions suggest that it will pose serious risks to many jobs, while others argue that it will create new job opportunities for those who are trained in it.This book aims to answer these questions and others in a language that is clear and free of the technical jargon used by specialists.The main goal of the book is for you, dear reader:1. To have the information that allows you to become acutely aware of the unprecedented impact of AI on absolutely every aspect of your life, work, health, education, entertainment, etc., which will change in unforeseen dimensions.2. To be aware of the astonishing speed at which this impact is being imposed.3. To use the advantages of the new conditions generated by techno disruption to your advantage.4. To be aware of the futility and drawbacks of resisting and ignoring these repercussions, especially regarding training and job opportunities.5. To be motivated to adopt lifelong learning (LL), which will be required without exceptions in the new conditions.6. Some of the information mentioned in the text may be considered incredible, which is why the sources are mentioned in each case.

Avoiding divorce is possible: PNL

Avoiding divorce is possible: PNL

One day, without prior notice (or with prior signs of deterioration in the relationship...), your partner tells you that they want to separate.These cases, which we see more and more frequently in our practice (during the pandemic, ironically there was talk of "crown divorces"...), motivate the writing of this book, with the aim of offering practical NLP tools and other systems, easy to apply, and very effective and fast, to avoid, if that is the objective, the collapse of a love relationship that culminates in divorce or separation.We underline "if that is the objective", because these tools are not applied when both members of the couple are calmly and reflexively agree to end the relationship, or when the person who reads this is the one who decides the end of the couple.Yes, the techniques that act on oneself are applied in all cases.The strategies that we describe come from different disciplines, particularly NLP, and can also be applied to other affective losses, such as children who threaten to leave early, siblings and other loved ones who distance themselves, etc., losses that are present. in everyone's life and have deep intra and interpersonal negative consequences.

Quit smoking without suffering: NLP

Quit smoking without suffering: NLP

The text describes practical advice and techniques of NLP and other systems, that have proven to be extremely effective in helping a person who, based on the terrible harms of smoking, makes the decision to quit.Based on our experience of several decades, we consider these techniques to be the most effective means of quitting smoking, achieving positive responses in a high percentage of cases.ADRIANNE, 29 years old. She consults because she wants to quit smoking, but confesses her skepticism."I’ve quitted smoking five times, but I always relapsed in a short time, and the worst thing is that each time I smoke more than the previous times I tried to quit."In one day, we reiterate, in one day of applying two of the techniques described here, she kicked the habit.She has not smoked for two years...These techniques are easy to learn and to apply to oneself or to another person, whom we wish to help to quit smoking.They are characterized by giving results in a very short time, from one to seven days.They can also be integrated into a treatment program, with other therapeutic resources, and enhance their results.We outline the different measures that are usually applied, pharmacological, behavioral, therapy groups, etc., and we describe the fundamentals of the 7-day program and the systems it includes, particularly NLP.Throughout the book we describe:-How to define and install a strong decision to quit the habit, generate the necessary motivation and apply the strongest intention to succeed.First, work within ourselves: D.M.I.: Decision. Motivation. Intention, for which the techniques of Substitution, Revision and the Telephone Technique are detailed.-Then we describe a powerful technique that facilitates the cessation of the need to smoke, because it dissociates what is imagined from what is felt, in a very fast way, generating a state of light hypnosis, making it possible to reduce and eliminate the desire to smoke.-An NLP technique to manage our internal s

Metaverse

Metaverse

Do you remember the Pokémon Go game, that was all the rage several years ago?Through augmented reality, AR, it made possible for players to "hunt" virtual Pokémons anywhere, using an app on their cell phone.The world of augmented and virtual reality is actually here, not only in video games, but also in some surroundings that simulate a three-dimensional environment, in which the user perceives, through stimuli from all senses; and also in some social networks, applications for education and training, etc.!This is a set of technological disruptions (disruption: abrupt modification of the usual ways of doing things), to which the world's largest companies are aiming, such as the former Facebook, which changed its name to “Meta”, to signify the importance and inevitability of its installation.By its nature, metaverse will generate consequences never seen before in the real world, as we have always known it.Judging by the triggering of events, what is really unprecedented is the speed with which it is being imposed in all fields of human activity, the billions of dollars being invested and the staggering number of people involved.Which allows us to assume that, in a very short time, its different aspects will be incorporated in almost all areas of reality, with unimaginable consequences in the way we work, study, commerce, entertain, travel, take care of our health, etc.Some information is so confusing and contradictory, that it is necessary to clean it up and express it in simple and understandable terms, for those of us who are not computer specialists.Judging by the dizzying speed with which digital technologies have already invaded, and inevitably conditioned, all aspects of our reality, individual, family, social, professional, labor, physical and mental health, education, communication, interpersonal relationships, recreation and entertainment, it is essential to understand what metaverse is and how it can affect our lives.Awareness of the depth and gene

Living and surviving the pandemic

Living and surviving the pandemic

In 2015, Bill Gates predicted on a TedTalk, that the next threat to the world "would not be missiles but VIRUS"In 2020, the United Nations has expressed that the COVID-19 is the worst challenge to humanity since World War II, and that the consequent economic recession in the world will be tremendous.The coronavirus pandemic has surprised the entire world.This is not about localized disasters, such as fires, earthquakes, tsunamis or hurricanes, but about a global calamity, that has mercilessly attacked rich, developed countries like USA, which, according to the Global Health Security Index, was among the best positioned country in the world to face health crises...But sooner or later, and with all the costs that the pandemic causes, it will come to an end.Nothing will ever be the same again.The authors, who wrote a previous book, "Surviving Crises", Amazon-Kindle, focus in the nine Chapters of the present text, on describing the most effective practical strategies and techniques of applied resilience, based on neuroscience, to neutralize and correct the consequences and repercussions, in all fields, of the coronavirus pandemic.Each Chapter is divided into three parts:1.-What to do DURING the pandemic?2.-What to do AFTER, in the post-crisis period?3.-What did I learn and how do I apply it?Chapter 1 describes the consequences of the crisis.Chapter 2 deals with neutralization techniques.Chapter 3 informs about how to counteract the physical consequences.Chapter 4 idem on EMOTIONAL repercussions.Chapter 5 is the same for the PSYCHO-SOCIAL consequences.Chapter 6 deals with how to counteract the SPIRITUAL .Chapter 7 on the consequences on the ORGANIZATIONS and on the ECONOMY.Chapters 8 and 9 answer the question What did we learn? at all ages, to become betterthan before...

Reinvent yourself

Reinvent yourself

To the unstoppable digital disruption, which has altered and will alter industry, the world of work, education, ways of learning, ways of relating to others and our lifestyles in general, must now be added:-The disruption produced by the pandemic, quarantine and post pandemic, which enhance and complicate in a short time, all the previous disruptions and generate, on their own, still more disruptions.-A true mental health pandemic in children, adolescents and adults of all ages, layoffs, lack of work and difficulties to get a new one, difficulties of cultural change to adapt to the new conditions, prolonged physical sequels of COVID-19, unspecific feelings of discomfort, uncertainty, fear, confusion, mental "fog", life dissatisfaction, etc.THE IMPERIOUS NEED TO REINVENT ONESELF...In the face of these universal disruptions, which reinforce each other, two inescapable realities become evident:-The world will no longer be as we knew it, in a multitude of issues.-These definitive changes will demand that everywhere, and due to the vertiginous and constant nature of the changes, we will have to reinvent ourselves, quickly and continuously, in order to face them successfully, at personal, interpersonal, work, professional, social, etc., levels.What does "reinventing oneself" imply?If you...-already have a stable job, the conditions of your job will change and you will have to catch up. But in a short time they will change again...and require new re-adaptation...and so on, because in order to survive in the face of your competitors and new customer demands, changes will be continuous.-If you don't have a job, or you are thinking of changing, you will face demands from employers, that will be: digital solvency, management of soft skills and having the specific skills for that job position.-If you have been out of formal education for years, and have lost the habit of regular studying, you will have to retrain yourself in a process that will require continuous lea
