Description
Called a Walden for the internet age, Untangled encourages the reader to step back from the social media-centric, Twitterdriven world to focus on the things that matter. The author challenges the reader to recognize and embrace contemplation as a way to address the complexity created by the ever-increasing entanglements found in the volume, variety, and velocity of the sensory inputs in today's world. Untangled draws from the rich traditions of both Eastern and Western philosophy to tease apart the hyperconnected web of the modern world. In an evocative and poetic fashion, the author encourages exploration of the three pillars of contemplation-silence, stillness, and solitude-in order to cope with entanglements. With a journey through the heart of Taiwan as a backdrop, Untangled uses highly approachable and rich metaphors to provide the reader with insights to untangle. Considered a thought leader in innovative technology, cybersecurity, and organizational dynamics, Henry J. Sienkiewicz brings a wealth of experience to the fields of practical philosophy and critical thinking. Drawing upon his extensive experiences in the fields of technology, languages, political theory, defense, and cybersecurity and his successful military, corporate, and entrepreneurial careers, Sienkiewicz follows up his first book with another poetic call to action. He holds a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Notre Dame and a master of science degree from Johns Hopkins University. A multiple-award-winning technologist, Henry has served in executive leadership positions across multiple global organizations and in multiple sectors.
