Lifescale: How to Live a More Creative, Productive, and Happy Life

with Brian Solis

Somewhere along the way, we got distracted. As much as we multitask, love our devices and feel like we’re in control, deep down we know that something is off. Shortened attention spans, declines in critical thinking, lack of sleep, self-doubt, and decreased creativity are just some effects coming to light in an age of digital distraction. It’s time to reclaim our lives. It’s time to take control.

Lifescale is a journey of self-discovery and growth. It’s about getting back into balance and remastering our destinies.

Author Brian Solis knows first-hand. He struggled with distraction and all of its ill-effects. To get his life back, he developed a set of techniques, exercises, and thought experiments designed to tame the chaos, and positively and productively navigate our day-to-day lives.

Instead of falling victim to the never-ending cycle of newsfeeds, Likes, addictive apps, and boredom scrolling (aka the endless scroll), we can learn to manage our time and inspire our own lives to bring meaning back—without sacrificing the benefits that our devices bring us.

This episode is shorter than usual because our guest has just started a new business, you can find Brian Solis here: https://www.briansolis.com/

See our review of Brian Solis’s book Lifescale here & our interview with him here.

Your book is a timely summary of important trends in the changing nature of work and our relationship to it. As more mundane tasks become automated could this be a flowering of human creativity?

Certainly that was part of the goal. Having studied the impact of machine learning and having reviewed all kinds of jobs that are and will be affected, all experts agree that creativity and innovation are more important than ever before. The arts, philosophy, and social sciences will be more valuable. Those are the types of things many of us were taught to ‘grow out of.’ We were taught to emphasize other subjects in school. Yet this has never been more important. That’s why creativity is an important topic throughout the book.

What do you plan to explore next in your writings and how did the research for this book help you on this journey?

I don’t want to give away too much. With this Lifescaling journey has come a great awakening and incredible motivation to explore other creative endeavors. It’s really stoked my imagination. I’ll add that Lifescale and Lifescaling is a movement that will continue to evolve and unfold.

How can people find out more about you & your work?
