This is the moment that I've been dreaming about for a long long time. I just can't believe it's finally here. In this video, I share the first (special) moments of opening my new book "Lifescale: How to Live a More Creative, productive and happy life." It's available online now.

Review from @BookTrib

In Lifescale, 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, multitasking, 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.

The inspiration for Lifescale came about from him realizing his own “distractions” as he originally planned to write the follow-up to his 2015 book X: The Experience When Business Meets Design, with the intended title of A Prelude to Innovation. He could do the brass tacks research, but realized that he couldn’t muster any creative energy. Even trying to write the book proposal, he realized his attention span, clarity and drive were misfiring.

He then realized that like him, most may be living with distraction without realizing it or understanding its effects. It was then that Solis decided to write an entirely new book, Life Scale, in light of this new realization.

“I lived this digital life which I helped the world create, and I never once thought I would be affected by it,” says Solis. “Yet, I realized that my whole way of thinking, creating, working and communicating had changed without me realizing it. In my frustration, I started Googling potential solutions, but they were all pretty superficial, and were more interested in treating symptoms than getting to the root of the problem.”
