About this book

The book is a real-world experiment to determine whether our smartphones, large-screen TVs, and SUVs have simplified our lives, or if life would be better without them. It syncs together scientific examination with personal experiences to illustrate how a world devoid of technological overload can reduce stress and waistlines while enhancing happiness, health, and leisure time.

About the author

Eric Brende

Eric Brende examines technology through the practical experiment at the center of his household memoir. Better Off recounts the eighteen months he and his wife spent in a rural religious community that used little modern machinery. Brende studied technology and society at MIT before asking how much equipment people need for comfort, work, and connection.
