Chapter 7

In Chapter 7 you can start to see that the author is getting used to his life without technology. He is able to relax after work and read a novel that he is interested in. Things are so quiet that they can hear everything going on outside. He talks about business people who are constantly trying to escape for the weekend. Also, he said that when it is dark outside they go to sleep and when the sun comes up they wake up. They have no sense of time and I admire that. People today are so busy that they pack their day full of activities by the minute. It would be nice if things were still as easy going as what Mr. Brende describes.

Rising when the sun does - and sleeping when the sun goes down is something that is just as foreign to me. If you tried doing that this day and age, you would miss out on a lot! Imagine living in Spain, where you don't eat dinner until 10 p.m. and you take a nap in the middle of the day. They seem to be living throughout the day - and just day and night.
