Description
Eric Brende's experiment to live without modern technology raises an intriguing question: what is the least we need to achieve the most? In "Better Off", Brende and his wife spent 18 months living in a remote community with minimal technology, challenging their own assumptions about the impact of our daily conveniences.
Through a mix of scientific analysis and personal story, Brende explores how a world free from technological excess can lead to reduced stress, smaller waistlines, and increased happiness and health. This thought-provoking book offers insights into the human experience and the potential benefits of a simpler way of life.
This P.S. edition includes additional content, such as author interviews and recommended reading, providing further context and depth to Brende's exploration of the relationship between technology and our well-being.
