autonomy

"Helga is not the obedient science experiment her father intended. And though she has only just awoken, he leaves her in the care of his lab assistant Penny to go on a business trip. Bursting with curiosity, Helga quickly escapes from the well-meaning Penny and heads into Amaris City. There Helga finds she is as untamable as the invasive blackberry vines overtaking the island. And because of the misdeeds of her fathers scientific community, the natural world grows more volatile. Helga soon discovers the night market, rowdy clubs, delicious food, and cute boys. Enamored with city life, she'll do anything to find love--but she has only two weeks until her father gets back, and besides there are ominous rumblings from the volcanic island that could put her dating schemes, and even her own life, in grave peril"--Provided by publisher.

"[The author puts forth] a simple process for discarding obsolete beliefs and cultivating independent thought [using] . . . leaders, artists, scientists, and entrepreneurs [as examples] . . . [Varol argues that] great thinkers operate unconstrained by the opinions of others--or their own past opinions. They can act on new information regardless of the beliefs they once held, or identities they once adopted. They distinguish fact from manipulation. And just as importantly, they act first instead of reacting--creating new ideas and opportunities for themselves and others"--Provided by publisher.
