Become a New Intellectual—Learn How the World Works—Anticipate the Future—Achieve Your Heroic Vision—Apply Technology Beneficially "Over the years, I have enjoyed every conversation I've ever had with J.J. Kelly. People are often spell-bound by his interpretation of the future and I have always said, "This man knows how the world works." Although there are many books that attempt to interpret the future, INTELLOPY hits the nail on the head. It is not just a good book, but a great one. J.J. makes abstract concepts clear by explaining life itself and then how technology will affect the world (as well as each of us). This book will make you want to be one of the "new intellectuals" J.J. describes. The future world is going to get more and more complex, but after reading INTELLOPY I feel well-prepared to masterfully navigate the future and accomplish my most important life goals."—Dan Chiodo, Certified Executive Coach & Author, President of IMPACT Training & Executive Coaching " INTELLOPY is an engaging and thought-provoking book that examines technology and its relationship to and impact on our lives. In INTELLOPY , the author paints a clear picture of the history and exponential growth of technology and its potential to greatly improve and extend our lives, as well as the potential misuses and dangers. The book examined several key technologies and explained complex technical and philosophical concepts in a way that was easily understood and enjoyable to read. I would highly recommend INTELLOPY to anyone interested in technology and the current state of society and seeking to understand what it all means for them as individuals."—Joe Knapp, Agile Coach, Rego Consulting " INTELLOPY'S fundamental principals offer great insight on how to plan and achieve your goals. The book offers a fresh view on what makes us human and how the brain evolves.

The Author's decades of experience, discovery, and tireless search for answers reveal the fundamental principals driving our society and our technology. JJ demonstrates great skills at making abstract concepts clear, easy to understand and memorable, the explanations and examples are easy to follow and understand. "—Jose Joia, Executive Vice President, Rudd International Wealth Advisory Group, Raymond James. " INTELLOPY is a comprehensive analysis of the human experience . The chapters provide a foundation of understanding for how we think, feel, and subsequently behave.
