Humology wins big in the US

Joanne Griffin • Jan 04, 2023

We are thrilled to announce that Humology has won two major book awards in the US!

We are so proud of the impact that Humology is having. We hope that it will continue to inspire readers to prioritize the human experience in a world dominated by technology.

In November 2022, Humology was named as a finalist in the American Writing Awards, which recognizes excellence in writing and publishing in the United States. 


Entries are judged based on multiple writing skills, which include an author's story-telling ability, transitions, hooks, pacing, topic development, grammar,  and overall impact.


This is a prestigious honor that reflects the hard work and dedication that went into researching and articulating a really complex topic that impacts every person on earth.

In December, Humology won the prestigious National Association of Book Entrepreneurs (NABE) Pinnacle Book Achievement Award! The book was nominated in the Business Book category. 


These popular awards have been running for over 40 years and honor some of the finest small press books in a wide variety of fields including Children's Interest, Fiction, Novel, Memoir, Self-Help, Health, How-To, Inspirational, Juvenile Fiction, as well as business and technology.

A conversation with ChatGPT about its contribution to Technostress

by Joanne Griffin • 24 Feb, 2023
Since the beginning of this year, ChatGPT has taken the world by storm, setting a record for the fastest user growth in January (reaching 100 million active users two months after launch!) The implications of this tool are far-reaching, with universities around the world scrambling to find a way to detect ChatGPT use in submitted essays, and tech giants from Google to Meta rerouting entire teams to focus on commercializing their own AI efforts. ChatGPT is first and foremost a conversational AI — so I thought “why not have a conversation about how it might impact us already-overwhelmed users!” Just a casual conversation between a curious human and the latest record-breaking emerging tech to disrupt the world as we know it.

The Human Cost of the Digital Revolution

by Joanne Griffin • 02 Dec, 2022
Technostress is the new uber-stressor of our time. Spurred on by the pervasive use of technology in our lives and the increased digitalisation of work, this new source of stress transcends geographical and cultural barriers, and is wreaking havoc in organisations and societies. A constant barrage of new devices and apps is creating unprecedented demands on our palaeolithic brains, while our dopamine receptors are being rewired by the digital age leaving many of us feeling frazzled and unfulfilled by the mundanity of work.

The Importance of Communication for Start-Ups

by Declan Foster • 24 Nov, 2022
“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” When George Bernard Shaw said this in the last century, he didn’t have start-up founders in mind, but his advice is still very relevant today, and especially important for start-ups.

Solve the Digital Adoption Gap with Goldilocks

by Joanne Griffin • 24 Oct, 2022
Despite the quickening pace of adoption of consumer technologies, enterprise technologies, are merely inching along the technology maturity curve. Many well-known enterprise applications have yet to go ‘mainstream’ or achieve the levels of adoption experienced by consumer apps. Organisations are being forced to consider the needs and preferences of their employees—or risk dire consequences, including high employee turnover and poor productivity. Consumers demand the same ease of use, functionality, and visual appeal from the technology solutions they use in the workplace as they do from ordinary applications. In spite of this, enterprise solutions frequently overlook the end-user in favour of superior technical ability. The result is that many enterprise applications are designed with buyers, not end-users, in mind.
