Good Burdens
What if there was a simple shift in thinking that could eliminate digital stress, reconnect us to the real world and give greater meaning to our lives?
Award-winning author Christina Crook reveals there is, and it’s in reach of all of us. In her new book, GOOD BURDENS: How to Live Joyfully in the Digital Age and top podcast, the JOMO(cast), Crook offers concrete solutions for flourishing in the digital age.
In thoughtful prose, GOOD BURDENS, Christina Crook's insightful follow up to the acclaimed The Joy of Missing Out, builds on her pioneering work in digital well-being, pinpointing how and why we hide and distract ourselves online. GOOD BURDENS is a powerful reckoning for an unchecked technological zeitgeist palliating us with frictionless convenience and comfortable distractions that divert our attention from life-giving experiences and our ultimate goals.
Crook advocates for a realignment of our energies, online and off, towards effortful pursuits - cultivating relationships, community, and creative projects that bring lasting joy. But GOOD BURDENS is more than actionable advice—it’s also a lively intellectual tour of this simple yet powerful idea, introducing readers to social media gurus, offline rebels, academics and everyday heroes who have embraced the joy of missing out on the right things to make space for good burdens.
