Vector Thinking — How Desire and Values Shape Our Decisions
Why do we hesitate at times, act boldly at others, and later regret our choices? Human behavior may seem unpredictable, but behind it lies a structure. This book presents a clear framework called vector thinking.
In mathematics, a vector is an arrow with direction and strength. Applied to life, vectors explain how actions arise from interacting forces. Desires push us forward, values orient us toward what matters, social pressures redirect us, and time reshapes their intensity. Our decisions are not random but the sum of these arrows. Conflict occurs when forces oppose; motivation appears when desire and value align.
Through relatable examples—students weighing study and play, individuals choosing health over indulgence, professionals balancing ambition and stability—the book shows how vector thinking reveals hesitation, compromise, and determination.
Accessible and practical, it invites readers to view life as a trajectory to recognize, adjust, and consciously design.
From Democratized Publishing to Mixed Quality — The Reader’s Power of Choice in the AI Era
This book explores how the meaning and value of books are being reshaped in the age of artificial intelligence.
In the past, publishing was defined by scarcity, authority, and strong editorial filters, giving each book credibility and permanence. Today, with AI tools and platforms like Kindle Direct Publishing, anyone can create and release a book within hours. This new accessibility brings opportunity for diverse voices, but also risk, as the market is flooded with uneven quality—from carefully researched works to quickly assembled compilations.
The chapters trace the history of publishing, examine the impact of AI on authorship, and highlight the challenges of navigating an overabundance of texts. Above all, the book argues that readers now serve as the ultimate gatekeepers. The essential skill of the future is not just reading but choosing wisely, separating reliable knowledge from noise to sustain the book’s role as a trusted source of learning.
