In a modern era dominated by superficial social media connections, this book contrasts digital technology with ancient Hindu wisdom. It suggests that the true "device" for meaningful relationships is the human heart, powered by "softwares" like love, understanding, adjustment, and respect.

The author, Swami Bhaskarananda—a senior monk of the Ramakrishna Order and president/spiritual head of several Vedanta Societies in North America—offers practical guidance and common-sense solutions for getting along with others at home, work, and elsewhere. The book draws on timeless philosophy to navigate today's stress-laden world and was originally published in 2013.
