Hey Goodreads peeps, drinks are on me. I’d love to be able to do this face-to-face, hear why you’re reading this over coffee (or a beer) and talk about my obsession with sensemaking, and how books rewire our brains and change the world.

Unfortunately, face-to-face is limiting and, most times, impossible. This is why I love Goodreads. Not only do I get to exorcise some of my demons by using my blog here
as a form of therapy, but I also get to answer questions you ask and post my latest news. The books I write take apart the mechanics of human behavior and analyze the building blocks of this world, though some readers interpret them as being about, search, the web, popular culture, and elite soldier mentality.

I believe that everything we do that is sustainable answers a specific need we experience at a basic human level. Search is information retrieval which is needed to help us make sense of what we see in the world (and there is a version of it inside our head), social networks answer our need for social connection and culture is just behavior that is driven by values, filtered through perception and modulated by context.

Digital technology does what technology has always done: augment existing human abilities and amplify human traits. It is no different, in that respect, to the car or the airplane. It challenges us right now because it is new, fast-moving and it impacts many of us at once. It attracts us because we sense the potential it offers for everyone to matter. For lives that are mostly invisible to feel that they belong. That they make sense.

My books are quoted by academics in research papers and used by universities as primers in classes. I try not to take this too seriously otherwise I won’t be able to write another word. What keeps me writing and evolving are the questions you have too: Why? Why are we the way we are? Why is the world the way it is? Why can we not all be better? Why is the struggle we experience so real? Why is everything just so difficult?

You can keep track of what I write by visiting my website.

You can ask me almost anything here and I hope you can join me as I go looking for answers to things that matter to us all.

Stay true and keep on reading,

David

SEO Help is a practical book. Slim in volume it is intended to be immediately practical enabling you to put into practice what you have read, from the very first chapter. It gathered great reviews on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk and it has been a best-seller since the day it was published.

If you are working online and need to gain greater visibility there simply is no easier way to do this than SEO Help.

I needed to promote my website and I have very little time to really get into theory. I also have very little cash to invest in expensive marketing and SEO firms. I bought this on a whimsy. Read it once, applied some things. Read it again (it's not that big) applied some more. Long story short my site has improved tremendously so I must now be doing something right and so is the author.
