Targeted advertisements, tailored information feeds, and recommended content are now common and somewhat inescapable components of our everyday lives. With the help of searches, browsing history, purchases, likes, and other digital interactions, technological experiences are now routinely "personalized." Companies with access to this information often downplay the fact that users' personal data serves as a key form of monetization, and their privacy policies tend to use the terms "personalization" and "customization" to legitimize the practice of tracking and algorithmically anticipating users' daily movements. In Making it Personal, Tanya Kant sheds light on the dilemmas of algorithmic personalization, exploring such key contemporary questions as: What do users really know about the algorithms that guide their online experiences and social media presence? And if personalization practices seek to act on our behalf, then how can users constitute, retain, or relinquish their autonomy and sense of self? At the heart of the book are new interviews and focus groups with web users who-through a myriad of resistant, tactical, resigned or trusting engagements-encounter algorithmic personalization as part of their lived experience on the web. Tanya Kant proposes that for those who encounter it, algorithmic personalization creates epistemic uncertainties that can emerge as trust or anxiety, produces an ongoing struggle for autonomy between user and system, and even has the power to intervene in identity constitution. In doing so, algorithmic personalization does not just generate "filter bubbles" for individuals' worldviews, but also creates new implications for knowledge production, the deployment of cultural capital as an algorithmic tactic, and, above all, formations of identity itself.

In the world of harmonious collaboration, how does your rhythm of connection set the beat? The resounding wisdom of Frank Iero reverberates: "The best music happens when you have a personal connection to it." As a devoted music lover and practitioner, I've realized this philosophy extends far beyond melodies—it's a universal truth that underscores every interaction and achievement in life. Make It Personal: Discover the Five Dimensions of Human Collaboration in the Workplace unravels a journey through diverse experiences. As a musician, the flute, piano, and saxophone have been my companions, each whispering the importance of personal bonds. From early days with a plastic Yamaha recorder to navigating cross-industry corporate leadership, connection weaves through every note of my life's symphony, where music has been a metaphor for collaboration. Life's composition ventured into technology. As a senior leader orchestrating global innovation and transformation, the familiar cadence of personal connection echoed—why do some collaborations flourish while others falter? What sparks successful relationships in a world dominated by algorithms? In the crucible of these questions, my pursuit evolved into an academic endeavor. My exploration traversed studies, culminating in a doctoral thesis that uncovered human collaboration's five dimensions. Each melody-like dimension intertwines, creating a harmonious resonance that elevates relationships and drives innovation. Leadership, I've found, isn't confined to titles; it emanates from the heart. Minouche Shafik's words resonate: "In the future, jobs will be about using our hearts." This sentiment drives my academic exploration into a guide for nurturing workplace connections. Make It Personal melds academic insight with relatable narratives. Characters inspired by real experiences offer perspectives that illustrate collaboration's dimensions. My anecdotes provide the delicate counterpoint that accentuates the symphony of workplace connections and transformations – a journey guided by the belief that true collaboration emerges from the heart.
