The Last Time Life Felt Real: Why everything was better before we optimized being human


Overview

You didn't notice it happen. One day you were living your life... and the next you were managing it. Moments became posts. Conversations became notifications. Memories became storage. And somehow - even with everything easier - life started feeling less real. Why do childhood memories feel warmer? Why does modern life feel busy but strangely empty? Why are we always connected but rarely present? This book isn't nostalgia. It's an explanation. In The Last Time Life Felt Real, Steven Doornbos explores the quiet shift from experiencing life to observing it - and why the human brain was never designed for constant awareness, endless comparison, and permanent audiences. You'll discover: - Why boredom used to create happiness - How unlimited choice quietly creates anxiety - Why documenting moments weakens memory - What social media actually changed in relationships - Why time felt slower before smartphones - The hidden psychological cost of convenience - How attention became the most valuable resource in your life - Simple ways to feel present again (without quitting modern life) This isn't a rant about technology. It's a guide to understanding why life feels different - and how to get the feeling back. Because the past wasn't better. It was just experienced more fully. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, nostalgic for no clear reason, or strangely tired of constant connection... You're not imagining it. And you're definitely not alone. Read this book if you want to feel something simple again: being fully inside your own life.
