Against Convenience
by Gabe Bullard
€ 24.99
ISBN: 9780241766354
'Against Convenience is a wake-up call. Effort and friction aren't obstacles to a good life - they're essential to it. Gabe Bullard shows us why and how to live more intentionally to build the meaningful life we crave.' - Jennifer Wallace, New York Times bestselling author of Mattering and Never Enough
------
Are we paying too high a price for 'easy'? When just about anything we want is a few taps away, why does it feel like something in our lives is missing?
From dinner delivered to your door in minutes, to relationships mediated by apps, we've always valued innovations that make life easier. But every convenience has a cost; if we don't pay it, someone else has to.
Against Convenience cuts through the noise, taking a hard look at the effect the services, apps and ideas that claim to simplify life are having on us as consumers and citizens: how do we spot convenience that is actually a false promise? How can we possibly live without them to live more sustainably? What real difference would it make?
An urgent call to re-examine our most 'convenient' choices, and the true cost of these to our minds, our peers, and our planet, award-winning journalist Gabe Bullard unpacks whether a slower, less convenient approach can, paradoxically, unlock a richer, more colourful existence.
