How to live a simpler life in harmony with nature and digital technologies
This book is about how to simultaneously dematerialize and digitize everything in life to live a lighter, richer, and more conscious life.
Ended
1) Our lives are cluttered with things we have bought but don't need and never use. It costs us time, money, and space to shop, consume, and store all the things.
2) A simple method to identify real needs, dematerialize the non-essentials, and digitize the essential to free up time, money, and space.
3) I've spent the past 15 years creating and living the Fewer better Things lifestyle. Today I own few physical things and have digitized everything essential to be accessible via the cloud. The result is a much lighter, richer, and more conscious life.
Reader's who have grown tired of the non-stop consumerism and would like to change lifestyle for themselves and nature. But also team and organizations who would like to understand post-consumerism and align profit, people and planet.
Per Håkansson is an accomplished former Silicon Valley executive turned global speaker and lecturer who has experimented with a simpler lifestyle for the past 15 years. By scaling back his physical things and desires for ownership he could live and travel the world as a digital nomad while having shared custody for this children. In 2016 he gave a TEDx talk about how dematerialization and digitization could free up time, money and space for living a more free, richer and environmentally friendly life.

SOOP is a small virtual publishing company headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, with a core team based in the US and additional contractors around the world. SOOP currently focuses on curating a small number of volumes for publication each year to enable its team to dedicate a great deal of time to working with its authors directly - not just on the manuscript, but also on platform-building and promotion.
Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.
How can we serve you today?
Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner

Ingram is a rather large company with several different divisions and supplies books to bookstores and libraries in over 200 countries around the world. Ingram also has a print on demand digital printing company, Lightning Source. IngramSpark is the platform that combines those two services together. At IngramSpark, we work with authors and independent publishers to print their books for orders they need (no minimum order) and we have a way to list the books as available for sale to all of Ingram’s 39,000+ customers- distributors, bookstores, retail outlets, libraries, etc., so you never miss a sale. You would provide us with the print-ready digital files (one for the cover and one for the interior) and we print the books as they are sold through our distribution partner’s websites. We pay you for those sales approximately 90 days later. The compensation you earn is based on the retail price you set, minus the wholesale discount you offer our distribution partners, minus the print cost.

Hej Per!
All lycka till med publiceringen av din bok! Inspirerande!
Hoppas att vi kan träffas snart, i Sverige, USA eller Singapore, lite beroende på hur denna virus-pandemi utvecklar sig.
Jag räknar med att flytta tillbaka till Sverige under sommaren 2021. Just nu pluggar jag igen på distans; juridik och kriminologi. Lite sugen att fortsätta och ta examen i juridik, sent i livet, men kanske just därför. Inget är försent!
Må väl!
Häll!
Mikael
Tack, Mikael.
Tack för ditt stöd.
Din plan låter klockren. Du är en sann polymath. Finns inget bättre an att hela tiden lära sig nya saker.
Häll, häll!
Per
Good luck Per!
All the best,
Leif
Tackar, Leif. Hoppas allt är bra! :)
Hey Per, good luck with the book! Keep in touch 😀. Rob x
Thanks, Rob.
I'll see you in India when the world opens up again. :)
Per
Hoppas du får ihop ditt bokprojekt!
Tackar, Jan.
Det rullar på bra. Otroligt intressant att börja med en bok-kampanj och sen avsluta boken. Det finns så mycket spännande inom att skifta perspektiv just nu, från det industriella till det digitala, medvetande, och sustainability.
Per
Excited to read your publication when it launches Per...the newsletter will keep me going till then! Many thanks, G

Tack för ert stöd! :)
Per has the most amazing out look on live. His values are humane. His ideas are unexpected - grounded but they’ll reach the stars and be the best you. I learnt minimalism from per. How to live with little by choice and be contented. And how to be in the moment and see what the moment is teaching you. Can’t wait to read this book and find more surprising truths.
Uma, thanks for the very kind words. It was such a pleasure meeting and working with you and the other students in Singapore. You've have become quite the influencer on LinkedIn. Congrats! :)
Ser fram mot att läsa din bok!!
Tack, Staffan! :)

Thanks, Alberto. I really enjoy your comments and posts on LinkedIn. :)
I wish to see you realize this pursuit to success. We’ve crosses path once while I was taking my Master’s in Hyper Island. Fresh with mind wide open, its been in pursuit of a trail seeking to make sense of a deeper meaning beyon words such as purpose-driven & human centric. I believe I’m close in understanding, now applying towards a better narrative to progress and would love to share and exchange our ideas so I too aspire in writing of its pursuit like you now! All the best!
I remember, Rizal. Thanks for your support and good luck with your journey. :)
Good luck!
Thanks, Aleksas! :)
