“We seem to have forgotten what life is all about.” So begins this heartfelt, laugh-out-loud follow-up to Máté’s cult classic, A Reasonable Life. He warns us that lulled by electronic pacifiers and hypnotized by sublimed greed, we are becoming physically inert, intellectually blinkered, and devoid of deep emotion. Our unquestioned obsession with goods and gadgets has displaced true and lasting joys like our health, creativity, fulfillment, and, most importantly, our time spent with one another.
How has our pursuit of the American dream left us? Financially insecure, estranged from our family, helpless without our wireless toys, increasingly isolated, overweight and, pervasively depressed. But don’t despair, a renaissance is underway. Máté’s call for genuine, physical, passionate living challenges you to re-evaluate the meanings of “success,” “security,” technological “progress,” and how you work, eat, play, and love.
Simple steps can turn your life around, let you take control, and find satisfaction in a better and much fuller existence. Surprising statistics and engaging anecdotes will rekindle your forgotten pride and joy in independence, neighborliness, working with your hands, and the irreplaceable rewards of time spent in nature and in face to face relationships.e the mall and gadgets a rest and get a real life.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. So begins this heartfelt, laugh-out-loud sequel to Mate's cult classic, A Reasonable Life. He cautions us that as slaves to electronic devices and obsessed with material goods, we are becoming physically inert, intellectually blinkered, and devoid of deep emotion. Our blind lust for gadgets and possessions has displaced true and lasting joys such as our health, creativity, self-reflection, and fulfillment. How has our unquestioned pursuit of the American dream left us? Financially insecure, estranged from our families, helpless without our wireless toys, overweight, pervasively depressed and increasingly isolated. But don't despair, a renaissance is underway. In this new call for genuine, vibrant living, Mate challenges us to re-evaluate the meaning of "success," "security," technological "progress," and how we work, eat, play, and love. With surprising statistics, eye-opening observations, and engaging anecdotes he rekindles in us a love of simple daily life: the forgotten pride and joy of independence, neighborliness, working with our hands, the revitalizing effect of closeness to nature, the irreplaceable value of lifelong friendships, and the enduring rewards of face-to-face conversation.
