"A fantastic book! I love how Carlo drew upon his many experiences and personas to describe such a vast and abstract concept and relate it metaphorically to rehearsing and being on the stage. I am excited to explore the platform mentioned, engage with the community of readers, and compare notes!"

Founder and CEO at PBG Consulting LLC
"Reality Check is a book I wish I had 15 years ago. It’s packed with examples and insights on how to get your questions right in order to improve and change. Carlo is a child of change, and this gem of a book will help you realize to not look for answers when asking questions. It sounds backwards, but it’s true. Read it and find out!"
Ola Helland
UX Design Manager at Laerdal Medical and Writer of the comedy/science TV-show Brille
"If you've ever wondered how you could actually perform a reality check, read Carlo's book. He reverse-engineered what it takes to "clearly read the now" by asking the right questions ... and not necessarily even trying to find an answer. Carlo unapologetically presents his themes from within a personal frame but takes great care to offer his insights as suggestions instead of anything like 'the truth.'"

Carlo Mahfouz
Technologist, author & speaker bridging the divide between the heart, mind, and what seems distant from both and is not technology.
"True self is awareness ever-present outside the confines of the ego that model it and the thoughts that govern it."
With over a decade in product development, technology innovation, and organizational transformation, I've witnessed how our pursuit of answers often leads us away from the questions that truly matter.
As we enter this new era where Artificial Intelligence isn't just reshaping industries but challenging what it means to be human, it is even more dire to recognize the true problems our world faces and shed all the false visages that keeps holding us back.
