Written in the form of a technical manual, the book shares the authors thoughts and personal experience in a relaxed and conversational manner, easily understood by young people today. When we are children, we are filled with imagination, but as we get older, we lose the ability to dream. How many times have we heard well-meaning adults tell us Stop daydreaming and get to work. For most people, this leads to an unfulfilled life, and questions like Why am I here? or Where am I going? are either asked too late or not at all. The book likens our life journey to the apps that are installed on computers. The well-worn phrase Theres an app for that inspired the author to imagine what it would be like if we could create apps for our life. This is a modern self-help book also based in reality. The author shares how he and others weathered the Great Recession and other obstacles with the help of the Starting Over app. In order to help guide the reader toward a more fulfilling life, the question Why am I here? is answered. We are here to leave a legacy for those who follow. This frees the reader up to pursue a meaningful life on the way to powering down.

The revolutionary book on discovering your happiest self—now in paperback. Technology has expanded at such a rate that nearly every aspect of our world has been affected—yet there has been no corresponding expansion of personal happiness. Instead, we find that the wealthiest societies of the world have become depressed, anxious, sleep deprived, and overmedicated. Max Strom, author of A Life Worth Breathing and global teacher of personal transformation, reveals that we each have internal, human technology capable of empowering our lives and leading us to deeper levels of happiness. In his new book, There Is No App for Happiness, Strom illustrates three imperatives to take back control of our lives. Imperative One: Self-study. Overcoming our negative presets. Imperative Two: Live as if your time and your lifespan were the same thing. Imperative Three: Learn a daily regimen that heals and empowers you, and practice it one hour a day. Learn that joy and fulfillment require us to be active participants and that we should not strive for a virtual life—but a life truly lived. There Is No App for Happiness will propel you into a new and more meaningful experience of living.

Health and fitness apps collect various personal information including name, email address, age, height, weight, and in some cases, detailed health information. When using these apps, many users trustfully log everything from diet to sleep patterns. However, by sharing such personal information, end-users may make themselves targets to misuse of this information by unknown third parties, such as insurance companies. Despite the important role of informed consent in the creation of health and fitness applications, the intersection of ethics and information sharing is understudied and is an often-ignored topic during the creation of mobile applications. Privacy Concerns Surrounding Personal Information Sharing on Health and Fitness Mobile Apps is a key reference source that provides research on the dangers of sharing personal information on health and wellness apps, as well as how such information can be used by employers, insurance companies, advertisers, and other third parties. While highlighting topics such as data ethics, privacy management, and information sharing, this publication explores the intersection of ethics and privacy using various quantitative, qualitative, and critical analytic approaches. It is ideally designed for policymakers, software developers, mobile app designers, legal specialists, privacy analysts, data scientists, researchers, academicians, and upper-level students.
