Bestselling author and renowned psychologist Kelly McGonigal offers a groundbreaking look at joy and how we can embrace itAs psychologist Kelly McGonigal reveals in this paradigm-shifting book, joy gives life meaning, sustains hope, and helps us feel close to others. It is the emotion that tells us: life is worth living, good things are possible, and you are not alone.And yet, many people find it difficult to allow themselves to feel, show, or even seek joy. Instead, we worry: Is it selfish to want joy? Is joy even possible when life is hard? Instead of turning to joy as a resource, we try to protect ourselves from the perceived risks of caring too much. What if, instead, you were able to trust the feeling of joy and appreciate the good in your life? And what if you were able to help others experience the benefits that joy provides?Weaving together personal storytelling with insights from psychology, neuroscience, and research conducted around the world, McGonigal offers tangible ways

本書探討了企業組織、企業家、開發人員和律師應如何將他們的業務與區塊鏈(Blockchain, BC)、人工智能(Artificial Intelligence, AI)和物聯網(Internet of Things, IoT)這三種新興技術整合起來。本書全面解析了實現這些技術所需的關鍵資源，包括商業、技術和法律三大領域，幫助企業組織在即將到來的時代中充分利用這些日益重要的技術。本書主要關注區塊鏈。區塊鏈是這三者中最重要的組成部分，因為它是所有解決方案的後端基礎。它是數據的持久層，被視為“真相層”。而物聯網和人工智能則為用戶的前端請求提供便利，同時提供經過訓練的機器智能。此外，區塊鏈開發工具在過去幾年已經成熟，而開發者想知道這些工具是如何工作的。本書介紹並提供了一些可以部署在以太坊鏈上的完整應用程序(包括代碼和所有相關內容)。也就是說，本書首先討論每一種技術，並提供介紹性材料，為讀者提供正在培養和開發這種“三合體的力量”實施標準的參與者(例如，穀歌、以太坊、IBM、微軟、亞馬遜等)的詳細信息。本書不僅會討論技術方面的要求，還會討論新興法規、安全和隱私法對商業與法律合規性的要求。本書將引導讀者完成創建示例應用程序和代碼所需的步驟，這將促進、支持和加速讀者實施這些新技術的過程。本書還將探索集成這些技術組合的應用程序的新用例，最重要的是著眼於這些技術將如何使用“三合體的力量”來改變軟件開發的方式。 本書的目標讀者包括任何對新興技術感興趣的人，以及任何設計、開發甚至思考如何使用這些新興技術來創造價值的人。此外，各級別的網絡和應用程序開發人員，精通技術的商人，以及需要緊跟技術發展動態、瞭解使用這些技術所帶來的道德考量、用例和構建技術內容所需的解決方案的律師，也都是本書的受眾。
