Dogs thrive when they can make sense of the rules and the relationships around them. Likewise, technology is an amazing companion when you give it a role to play, but it will drive you crazy and make a mess if you think it's in charge.

You own technology—not the other way around. And only the technologies that are useful to you should be a part of your life. Adopt the eight ownership mindsets in this book to ensure a positive relationship with both dogs and technology.

There are eight ways of thinking about being a great owner for all of your technological “dogs.” The moment you begin mastering these mindsets, your command of useful technology will multiply:

• Liking who you are.
• Loving what you have.
• Strengthening your talent.
• Deepening your values.
• Increasing your usefulness.
• Multiplying your impact.
• Reversing your aging.
• Slowing life down.
