“LIFE SCALE: HOW TO LIVE A MORE CREATIVE, PRODUCTIVE, AND HAPPY LIFE”

Seven-time best-selling author Brian Solis releases his new, groundbreaking book

In "Life Scale," Solis teaches how to tackle the struggles of living in a world of constant digital distractions, and helps readers overcome the unforeseen consequences of living a digital life to break away from diversions, focus on what's important, spark newfound creativity, and unlock new possibilities. Toggling between apps, networks, emails and texts comes at a tremendous cost to the actual productivity of a person's life today. "Life Scale" provides readers the necessary tools to encourage friends and loved ones to become empowered, by breaking free from the bondage of device-addiction, multi-tasking, and the falsehoods of online validation. As a leading digital anthropologist, futurist, author and speaker who studies the impact of disruptive technologies on business, society and culture, Solis has devoted his professional life to understanding how technology affects and shapes behaviors, norms, and society. In "Life Scale," Solis poses the questions (when did we) "get so busy?"; "decide that being glued to our devices is normal?"; "feel constant multitasking was in our best interest?"; "realize that everyone else's life become more important than actually living our lives?" Solis writes that truthfully, there is no guidebook for life today. Most parents and teachers don't realize what is happening to kids, and in the adult world, people don't realize how this digital age of distraction and addiction is affecting them in the workplace and at home. "These important things don't come up in conversation when you're moving at a million miles an hour or places so much emphasis on what everyone thinks about our every move," says Solis. "When I started making poor decisions that affected my loved ones, I knew that I needed to be re-centered. The most beautiful part of the story is that in writing 'Life Scale,' it changed my life, because I used it to fix my life. If it can do that for me, my hope is that it can have that impact on readers.".
