The need for a biography and it's  paradigms. In this age of information overload, it can be hard for a seeker of knowledge to determine what to prioritize. The biography of a person highlights their goals, works, culture and other significant events in their life. This makes it easier for others to relate with the person, which in turn gives clarity to the thoughts in the seeker’s mind. Is biography a narrative or something more? Biographies symbolize several things, depending on who is reading them and why. A monumental biography is not just a chronological list of events that happened to someone. Rather, it should weave a narrative and tell a story in almost the same way a novel does. In this way, biography differs from the rest of nonfiction.

The metaphysics of digital discipline identifies the underlying habits that are imprinted on our cultural self. To rebuild ties with our real selves, we must connect with our deepest convictions. To connect, we need a regimen, a discipline.

Choice architecture is about designing our choice structures. It is about how certain choices we make at the moment, for the moment, with little or no thought and its consequences, as opposed to clarity-based thinking, which governs our decisions. We can choose our actions, or we can choose our consequences, but we can’t choose both. Can we? We think much differently when we make choices for now versus later. Why? Because we want to do better in the future - programmed to seek happiness in the future. Designing our “ choice architecture ” aligns us with our short-term goals and long-term visions. Expert decision-makers often decide based on the consequences of the various options. They then aim to build on the positives and minimize the negatives. To become a consistent decision-maker, one needs to adopt spiritual decision-making, as it imbibes a holistic approach that governs our inner life and influences interactions with the world. We seek freedom, and good choices empower it.
