/24-7PressRelease/ - MIAMI, FL, July 31, 2008 - In this day and age - the Information Age - we are spoiled for choice regarding information and, as a result, for opportunities, as never before. Enormous amounts of data can very easily be obtained, almost instantaneously, on the internet, and, somewhat less rapidly, from other sources such as broadcast or print media.
This of course leads to an unprecedented increase in opportunities for all those able to access and make use of this information to further their ends. This information opens up new avenues for both individuals and companies that are both knowledgeable and ready to make use of it.
Not all the vast amount of information available nowadays means the same to everyone. Some of it is more useful to some people or groups than others. In addition, not all this information may actually be factual or accurate; as a result, some may be downright damaging. Selecting which opportunities and information to exploit and which to forego is thus vital to living and working productively.
However, as we all know, making good choices of this kind is infinitely easier said than done. The amount of information that many of us feel we need to absorb and process can be overwhelming, and can lead to paralysis - and/or bad decisions.
In his book "How to Survive the Information Age at Work", author Ron Hopkins teaches his readers key principles to navigate this vast sea of information and opportunities without drowning. In addition, he also provides practical tips in the form of 'snorkels' and 'buoyancy devices' to help people cope in case they do get pulled under by developments. Mr. Hopkins aims to teach readers how to achieve 'peak performance amid never-ending change' in this modern-day world through teaching them to be selective regarding the information they work with.
