Avery Grant writes at the intersection of technology, power, and everyday life, focusing on how digital systems shape behavior long before laws or force are involved. With years of work interviewing engineers, city officials, and civil liberties advocates across North America, Europe, and Asia, Grant maps the hidden incentives that turn platforms into instruments of governance. Their essays and briefings have informed civic groups, product teams, and policymakers looking for concrete ways to balance innovation with autonomy. Grant's guiding conviction is simple: freedom depends on understanding the code, markets, and institutions that train us to comply-often without noticing.

Klappentext

This is a field guide for your inner weather-clear, visual, and immediately usable. If you can read a forecast, you can read your feelings. And if you can forecast, you can act earlier and calmer. You'll learn a simple method to map emotions, spot triggers and patterns, and design calm rituals that hold under pressure. Instead of forcing control when you're already overwhelmed, you'll practise small, timely moves that prevent storms from gathering. With diagrams, short case studies, and workbook pages, this book turns emotional literacy into something you can draw, review, and share with the people you live and work with. Who is it for? Thoughtful readers who want practical tools-not platitudes-for steadier days: parents, partners, leaders, and anyone who has ever said, "I didn't see that outburst coming." What you'll gain: - A visual map of your recurring moods and the early signs that precede them - A 60-second mood tracking loop that fits real life - Language to name states precisely and ask for what you need - Portable self regulation strategies that shift your state fast - Weekly calm rituals that keep you steady through busy seasons By the end, you'll carry a pocket model-observe, name, forecast, plan-that helps you make calmer choices, repair faster after conflict, and feel at home in your own weather.
