Is it one that remains subject to external forces and unending technological advancement where metrics such as speed, consumption and financial prosperity dominate? Alternatively, should the pursuit revolve around the re-establishment of an authentic connection with life, thereby enabling a deeper sense of purpose, immersion, and human connectivity, especially in software development? In "Feelability," the sequel to the acclaimed bestseller "Offline," readers are invited into a thought-provoking discussion between the author, Dr. Imran Rashid, a specialist doctor, and Fabio Pereira, as they explore the profound consequences of our digitized and rapidly accelerating society on individuals. Learn about some practical tools to navigate the challenges posed by technology's impact and confront smartphone addiction. Whether you seek to reclaim a more meaningful and connected existence or are intrigued by the stories behind this insightful work, "Feelability" offers an enlightening journey toward a more fulfilled life in our digitized age.
