The Detachment Manifesto

Transformative insights to help you let go of addictions and attachments and embrace a life of discipline, balance and freedom. The world in which we are living right now is a world of access. Never before in the history of humanity has it become so much easier to acquire things. Just a click of a few buttons, maybe a phone call, and you can get whatever you want. Due to this ease, the most important aspect of our lives that we need to pay attention to are the kind of choices we make. It has become easy for us to become enticed and tricked. Distractions and temptations are everywhere and nowadays people in technology companies are getting paid to steal our attention. Digital dictatorships are emerging, and our limited and most precious resources - our time, presence and attention - are in jeopardy. That's why the best antidote to be able to live peacefully in this era of constant access and excess is detachment. Superfluous is quickly becoming the norm, and detachment is the one and the only thing that will set us free. Building healthy boundaries and focusing on the long-term gains, instead of instant gratification, is what will take us far. The Detachment Manifesto will guide you step-by-step on the journey that you need to take from a life of servitude and misery to a life of freedom and lasting joy. You'll learn how to take responsibility for your own well-being and happiness, and empower yourself to get back on the path to growth and self-renewal.
