(here you can read the german version „Wesentlich weniger„)
Having done extensive research on the influence of the internet age on culture, I’m convinced that in today’s world, attention is the most important resource because attention takes up time, and time is limited. When the midnight bell tolls, there’s not a single minute you can carry over to the next day – no matter how much money you have or how well-organized you are. The counter always resets to exactly 24 new hours.
This is the reason why I wrote Essentially Less in cooperation with Blinkist – the platform for summarizing books. But Essentially Less isn’t a summary, its a book – about the question how to handle informations overload.
