Glow Kids

We’ve all seen them: kids hypnotically staring at glowing screens in restaurants, in playgrounds and in friends' houses—and the numbers are growing. Like a virtual scourge, the illuminated glowing faces—the Glow Kids—are multiplying. But at what cost? Is this just a harmless indulgence or fad like some sort of digital hula-hoop? Some say that glowing screens might even be good for kids—a form of interactive educational tool. Don’t believe it. In Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras will examine how technology—more specifically, age-inappropriate screen tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity—has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation.

University professor, psychotherapist and recovering former nightclub owner Dr. Nicholas Kardaras presents a mind blowing, reality rocking, and life changing approach to Greek philosophy. Having once owned celebrity-studded NY nightclubs where he had mingled with the likes of JFK, Jr., Uma Thurman and Tom Cruise, Kardaras would emerge from that glamorous-yet-self-destructive world to discover the powerful and transformative teachings of his ancient ancestors. To his amazement, he learned that ancient Greek philosophy, contrary to popular misconceptions, was not a dry and academic pursuit, but a vibrant and holistic transformative practice. In How Plato and Pythagoras Can Save You're your Life, Dr. Kardaras breathes new life into those ancient teachings as he incorporates some of the most cutting edge advances in the fields of quantum mechanics and consciousness research to validate the insights and wisdom of the ancient Greek sages. As he guides readers through an array of contemplative practices designed to help them live a more meaningful life, Kardaras warns the reader to be prepared because they just might also "catch a glimpse of that trippy realm called Ultimate Reality".

Summary of Nicholas Kardaras's Glow Kids

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had seen many different flavors of addiction in my work with teenagers, from sexually abused kids to drug-addicted students, but I had never seen anything like Dan, a young boy who was terrified and confused after spending hours everyday playing the fantasy game World of Warcraft. #2 The addictive gravitational pull of the game is so powerful that some gamers have been known to wear diapers so they can play all night long. #3 When I spoke with Dan’s mother, she was concerned about his excessive all-night video game playing. She was glad that he was safe at home and not running the streets like other kids. When he was released from the hospital, he asked for my help to stay off of the games. #4 The video game phenomenon is about kids seeking something and parents, albeit misguidedly, thinking that they are keeping their kids safe indoors. But what are we to make of the explosion of myth and fantasy games like World of Warcraft that appeal to tens of millions of kids.

They lift the veil on what’s really going on in schools: teachers who are often powerless to curb distractions from electronic devices; zoned-out kids who act ...
