Story
In this book, Vaclav Smil argues that power density is a key determinant of the nature and dynamics of energy systems. Any understanding of complex energy systems must rely on quantitative measures of many fundamental variables. Power density—the rate of energy flux per unit of area—is an important but largely overlooked measure. Smil provides the first systematic, quantitative appraisal of power density, offering detailed reviews of the power densities of renewable energy flows, fossil fuels, thermal electricity generation, and all common energy uses.

One of the most common problems in every relationship is a lack of communication. Most people just don’t know how to properly convey their wants and needs to one another, and this, in turn, makes far too many relationships fall apart. When you and your partner's needs aren’t met, it can create feelings of resentment and even hatred that only worsen with time.

Having someone with whom you can share your troubles or whom you can go to for advice is so liberating because as the popular saying goes, "A problem shared is a problem solved." However, there are ways to communicate effectively, which is not taught or people don’t know about.

Publisher's Summary
Cultivate deep connections wherever you go. Break down conflict, misunderstanding, and loneliness.
Healthy relationships involve our feelings being heard, understood, and validated. Unfortunately, this is the exception rather than the rule. Are you doing it wrong and alienating people versus comforting them? Find out how to walk this fine line.
Uncover the biggest obstacle to the intimate, healthy relationships that we desire and deserve.
How to Listen, Hear, and Validate is all about our top communication struggle - our tendency to react instead of respond, and forget that our goal is to build bridges rather than walls. You’ll learn what you’ve been doing wrong, and why your efforts at getting closer to people - in deep or light manners - have failed. You’ll learn actionable techniques and frameworks to have the most productive conversations of your life - ones that will walk away with people praising how empathetic you are.
Most importantly, you will gain profound insights on how to reprogram yourself into a natural communicator.
No more unresolved issues, struggles to get close, or failures from ineffective communication.
Patrick King is an internationally best-selling author and social skills coach. His writing draws of a variety of sources, from scientific research, academic experience, coaching, and real life experience. His struggles in his early relationships has inspired him to unravel practical ways to cultivate meaningful, reciprocative interactions.
Establish vulnerable, fulfilling and satisfying relationships.
- The big mistakes when we "listen" to others
- How to structure a style for effective validation and empathy
- Scripts to validate others, to know exactly what to say
- Simple tactics to make others feel loved and seen
- How to use empathetic communication and active listening techniques
Did you know? At the heart of most communication problems is a lack of validation.
Are we truly paying attention to the messages others are conveying, or are we just waiting for our turn to speak? Are we listening to reply, or listening to hear? After applying the proven techniques from this book, you’ll be able to increase love, respect and satisfaction to your relationship. You’ll become the person everyone wants in their life.
Connect deeper and better. Raise the standard for your relationships.

Great info but wish it had more examples.
This is a must read for anyone, but especially married couples. I wish it was longer with more practical day to day examples of everyday miscommunications. The book is full of necessary info for the reader, but examples would ensure the reader actually understands how to use the info in their day to day life.
