Currents of Being, Volume II: Eternal Wisdom Resumen del editor
What does a lifetime teach? Fifty years of science, business and life, distilled into nine chapters on life's biggest questions. EDITORIAL REVIEWS 5 STARS: Readers' Favorite "Shahin Samadi's Currents of Being (Volume II) is a thoughtful exploration of deep philosophical ideas, personal connections, and the shared human journey... An inspiring guide that captures why we should never stop learning. If you want a thoughtful, steady compass to help you make sense of today's fast-paced world, you'll find this book to be a beautifully written, eye-opening companion." Robert Collier III, Readers' Favorite (5 Stars) Volume I is where I come from. This is what I have learned along the way. I left Tehran in 1976, at fifteen, to attend college in the United States. By the time I understood that I would not be going back, the country I knew no longer existed. What followed was a career in science and technology, work with NASA, NOAA and the Department of Defense, years of teaching, and a company I helped build. What I did not expect was how often that life kept returning to the same handful of questions. Eternal Wisdom is my attempt to answer them for the people who come after me. I chose the topics that seemed to me to matter most. How civilizations rise and fall, and why post-1979 Iran and post-communist Russia rhyme more than either would admit. What water scarcity and migration are likely to do to the century ahead. What always-on technology is doing to human attention, and what a person can do about it. How teams actually work, and why an orchestra is a better model than a machine. How to separate personal faith from organized religion without losing either. What Rumi and Saadi understood about all of this long before we did. On each one I say what I have come to think and how I arrived there, and then I stop. I am not trying to settle these questions for anyone. I would rather a reader finish a chapter and disagree with me having thought it through than agree because I said so. This volume stands on its own. Volume I, The River of Life, tells the story that produced it.©2024 Shahin Samadi (P)2026 Shahin Samadi
