Book Description: In this book, the author presents a comprehensive overview of the development of health psychology as a response to the challenges of the 21st century, focusing on the need to move from a disease-centered to a health-centered perspective. The author argues that the current emphasis on treating illness and disease has not been effective in addressing the root causes of stress and promoting well-being, and instead advocates for a shift towards a health-centered approach that prioritizes prevention, early intervention, and holistic care. The book explores the impact of technology on health and well-being, examining both the benefits and risks of technological advancements, and offers practical strategies for individuals and communities to adapt to these changes. The author also discusses the importance of developing a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of modern knowledge, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of the role of technology in society. This includes recognizing the potential for technology to both unite and divide people, and the need for a more inclusive and equitable approach to technological innovation.
