Online Gravity

The Unseen Force Driving the Way You Live, Earn, and Learn

By: Paul X. McCarthy

The Freakonomics of the digital economy, offering fascinating insights into the new rules that are reshaping the online worlds of business, education, and leisure. Are you concerned that technology and the web are moving too quickly for you to keep up? Are you worried about the future of your career in the face of an increasingly global and competitive workforce? We all worry about change. And the changes being brought about by unseen forces in the global economy are profound. Do you know someone who has lost their job in the last five years working in IT, media, finance, or retail? These industries and many others are already feeling the pinch of online gravity: the invisible forces of the online world that govern its role in the global economy—and its effect on you. Industry expert Paul X. McCarthy reveals how online businesses are fueled by a starkly different set of economic rules than those existing purely offline. He calls these forces “online gravity,” which favor the creation of planet-like super-businesses (such as Amazon and Google) from surprising and unpredictable quarters. As more and more traditional industries such as media, music, travel, photography, and even banking are steadily consumed and transformed by giant online enterprises, more and more of the world is feeling online gravity’s increasingly powerful pull. For anyone interested in the future of global technology, economics, or business, Online Gravity is an indispensible book that explains how you can harness these forces to improve your career, your health, your wealth—and even the prospects of the next generation.

Healing the Traumatized Self: Consciousness, Neuroscience, Treatment (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology)

By: Paul Frewen,Ruth Lanius

A neurobiological explanation of self-awareness and the states of mind of severely traumatized people. Cultivation of emotional awareness is difficult, even for those of us not afflicted by serious mental illness. This book discusses the neurobiology behind emotional states and presents exercises for developing self awareness. Topics include mood (both unipolar and bipolar), anxiety (particularly PTSD), and dissociative disorders. Frewen and Lanius comprehensively review psychological and neurobiological research, and explain how to use this research to become aware of emotional states within both normal and psychopathological functioning. Therapists will be able to help survivors of trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and dissociative disorders develop emotional awareness. The book also includes case studies, detailed instructions for clinicians, and handouts ready for use in assessment/therapy with patients/clients.

The Digital Giants Driving the Way You Live, Earn and Learn

By: Paul X. McCarthy

Why have local video shops disappeared and been replaced by Netflix? Why are hotels being replaced by AirBNB? Why is your taxi driver from UBER? Why is Amazon the only company who can sell you the book you want to read? And why is there no Pepsi in cyberspace? They are all under the influence of Online Gravity, the unseen force driving the way business is done online, and changing the face of work and employment now and over the coming decades. Online Gravity has formed huge planet-like companies which dominate the online business world and either eat up or blitz their competition. We all hear about jobs being replaced by technology. You will know someone this has happened to – or perhaps it’s happened to you. But Paul X. McCarthy, industry expert and big data analyst, shows that rather than reducing jobs, Online Gravity has replaced 2.6 jobs for every one lost. It’s just that the shape of employment has changed. And while the phenomenon of Online Gravity is startling, it’s entirely transparent and follows its own set of distinct rules and laws. In Paul’s book, he identifies the ‘secret sauces’ that have not only driven success for these companies, but can help us – and our kids – as workers and future business owners of the 21st Century. In this fascinating book that you can’t afford not to read, Paul tells us about Rocketships and Uberslashies, Global Passionistas and Jacks of all Technologies. He offers us advice on turbo-charging employment and business, by hacking the techniques of global winners to apply to our own work, and why your CV is now your Twitter account, your LinkedIn profile and even your Facebook page. In this must-have guide to negotiating your future in an increasingly digital world, Paul X. McCarthy shows us what Online Gravity is, how it works and how we can harness it for our own success. Witty, pithy and full of astounding ideas, it’s not only a highly enjoyable read, but an essential handbook for the decades ahead.
